Trump Addresses Libertarian Convention

Former president Donald Trump spoke at the Libertarian Party's national convention in Washington, DC, on 11 June, receiving mixed reactions from the audience. Trump was the first former or current president to attend the event and used his speech to urge delegates to vote for him in November, arguing he was the best candidate to defeat President Joe Biden. He promised to appoint a libertarian to his cabinet and fill senior White House positions with libertarians if elected. Commentators suggest Trump's appearance could be an attempt to attract votes from the Kennedy camp, which may be crucial in a tight election.
