Trump: I’m Certain There Could Be No Better Candidate to Lead the World Bank than David Malpass

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "The 'Wall Street Journal' just said today in an editorial that David Malpass is a excellent choice, which is true. America is the largest contributor to the World Bank, giving it over one billion dollars every year. My administration has made it a top priority to ensure that U.S. taxpayers+ dollars are spent effectively and wisely, serve American interests and defend American values. David has been a strong advocate for accountability at the World Bank for a long time. He has fought to ensure financing is focused on the places and projects that truly need assistance, including people living in extreme poverty. David was also critical in the creation of the World Bank’s Women's Entrepreneur — you know about the World Bank’s Women's Entrepreneur Finance Initiatives. He will make it a priority to continue empowering women all across the globe. It’s very important thing and it’s a very important part if it’s properly handled, done by the World Bank. I’m certain there could be no better candidate to lead the World Bank than David.“
