US EditionTrump campaign architects are now training their sights on Albania’s upcoming election
- Political strategists Chris LaCivita, Paul Manafort, and Tony Fabrizio are assisting Albanian opposition leader Sali Berisha ahead of the 2025 elections in Albania.
- Berisha, a former prime minister and president facing corruption charges and U.S. Sanctions, signed a $6 million, two-year contract with Republican firm Continental Strategy to support his campaign.
- Continental Strategy, funded by an American-Albanian businessman, aims to promote democracy, anti-corruption reforms, and lobby for lifting Berisha's U.S. Entry ban amid a tense political context.
- LaCivita described Berisha as a close ally of the United States and highlighted similarities between Berisha and Trump, portraying both as leaders who have faced unjust prosecution, while Berisha’s campaign adopts populist themes reminiscent of Trump’s rhetoric.
- Their involvement highlights the perceived value of Trump campaign expertise in Albania’s opposition effort, though the arrangement has drawn scrutiny and an investigation by Albania's anti-corruption agency SPAK.
