    Hysni Rexha, a cheerful 51-year-old farmer in western Kosovo, loves the United States unconditionally.

    "Because of America, my country exists," he declares, walking through what he calls his "wildlife garden" of caged peacocks, doves, exotic chickens and a sad hawk.

    "So when Donald Trump was elected America's president, I named my favorite wolf after him."
