Or a mistake.
Yea, an "administrative error," like what landed that one gentleman in El Salvador, right?
I'm not saying I approve of what he's doing. Quite the contrary.

Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.
In happier times, we call the process "diplomacy," and mostly limit it to things that affect us, directly or indirectly.
But pressuring other countries to, for example, clean up their corruption so we can reliably do business with them is common. (Also hilariously hypocritical) Pressuring other countries to enact civil rights laws is fairly common, too.
I have to admit, seeing pressure to remove civil rights is unusual, at least from countries not named UAE.
I think a more interesting question would be "how."
"Critiques of their actual numbers."
He'll of a way to say "reality-based criticism." Or "we are objectively bad at our stated goals."
