During this challenging time, he found solace in listening to Voice of America, which significantly influenced his understanding of democratic ideals and the English language. Recently, he has been in the news for his criticism of the Trump administration's actions that he believes undermine the aspirations of millions who look to the U.S. for inspiration in their pursuit of freedom.
