San Juan's mayor was invited to a W.H. conference call, then told she couldn't speak during it
San Juan’s mayor was invited to a White House conference call — then told she couldn’t speak during it
The night before President Donald Trump was set to land in the American territory of Puerto Rico, San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz was invited onto a White House conference call on one condition — that she couldn’t speak during it.
According to The Independent, Cruz said she was completely unaware of the president’s itinerary, and that she learned online about her supposed rejection of an invitation to meet with the president — an invite she says she never got.
“I read in tweet that someone said I got an invitation to see him,” she told The Independent. At the time, she hadn’t.
Cruz has since announced that she will meet with the president despite his Twitter attacks on her over the weekend, which she believes he did “just to spite” the island territory.
