MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The US Republican party presidential candidate Donald Trump would be a better US president for Latin America than Democratic party candidate Hillary Clinton, Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said Friday.
"Obviously, it would have been better for the US if Hillary [Clinton] won. I know her personally and respect her immensely. However, I seriously believe that for Latin America it would have been better if Trump won," Correa told RT broadcaster in an interview.

He explained that Trump's primitive attitudes would trigger a powerful reaction in the region.
Trump will be competing with Clinton for the US presidency at the elections scheduled for November 8. The candidates were nominated in July at their parties' respective conventions.
