Maltese presenter Peppi Azzopardi has criticised Prime Minister Robert Abela over a photograph showing him and his wife alongside US President Donald Trump.In a video shared on his Facebook page, Azzopardi addressed the controversy surrounding the photograph, after some social media users questioned whether the person pictured was actually Trump or a cardboard cutout.However, Azzopardi said he believed the photograph was genuine, adding that his concern was not whether Trump was really in the picture, but why Malta’s Prime Minister would want to be photographed alongside him.“Prime Minister, you know where we disagree, you know where we clash, but I respect you as a person, and I respect you as my Prime Minister,” Azzopardi said.
