Rubio: Democracy requires valid election; US wants to avoid new government inheriting economic crisis

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said democracy is 'not just about holding an election' but must be a valid election, adding that when a new government takes office, the US does not want it to inherit 'an economic disaster or a country in complete crisis' but rather a stabilized country. The statement was reported via a third-party aggregator and has not been independently confirmed.
