WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Mitt Romney, the former Republican presidential candidate and incoming US senator from Utah, sharply criticized President Donald Trump and suggested the US leader had caused dismay around the world. In a Washington Post essay published on Tuesday evening, Romney criticized a number of Trump’s actions in December. He added that “Trump’s words and actions have caused dismay around the world.”The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It is unclear whether Trump will face a serious challenge in 2020 securing the Republican Party’s presidential nomination. Despite Romney’s prior criticism, Trump briefly considered tapping him as secretary of state after winning the presidency in November 2016.
