US says it's analyzing whether Tunisia developments constitute a coup | Video

Washington DC, Jul 26 (EFE).- The United States government on Monday said it has not yet determined whether Tunisian President Kais Saied's move to relieve the prime minister of his position and suspend Parliament constitutes a coup.

In a press conference, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said President Joe Biden's administration is "concerned about the developments in Tunisia."

"A determination about a coup is a legal determination, and we would look to the State Department to conduct a legal analysis before making a determination. So there hasn't been a conclusion on that front," Psaki said. (Camera: HANDOUT).
