Paraguay President Santiago Peña called President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming foreign policy team a “dream come true” as his nation stands to become more relevant in the next US administration.
“It’s a great opportunity for us to advance very, very fast in the bilateral agenda on trade, security, rule of law and make Paraguay a much closer ally” to the US, Peña said in an interview in Washington ahead of Trump’s inauguration Monday. “One of the biggest challenges for Paraguay was that image of an island surrounded by land, a country that was isolated and not many people know about it.”
