US envoy expresses ‘shock, sadness, dismay’
Us ambassador Joseph Mondello - - JEFF K MAYERS
UNITED States Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago Joseph Mondello, in a Facebook statement on Thursday, welcomed the approval of Joe Biden as next US President by the US Congress, saying his country was better than the protests which had disrupted the approval process on Wednesday.
Supporters of President Trump invaded the Capitol to try to stop the count of electoral college votes in an election they believed had been rigged, but under Vice President Mike Pence the legislators later resumed and confirmed Biden.
Mondello wrote, “On January 6, we watched with shock, sadness, and dismay the deadly scenes of unrest at the US Capitol Building in Washington DC.”
