Justin Sun has been elected prime minister of the tiny country of Liberland again following a second round of congressional elections earlier this month.  The results of the nation’s so-called “test election” were tallied last Saturday. Sun was previously elected prime minister in a separate test election last October, although it’s unclear why Liberland held two elections in such quick succession.   Following his election, Sun pitched his plans for Liberland to the country’s president Vít Jedlička in a video published on Monday.  In the video, Sun emphasized the need for a strong relationship with the US and called incoming President Donald Trump a “bold man” who loves to make “unprecedented” moves.
