US President Donald Trump has said that Ukraine "may be Russian someday," also not ruling out the possibility that he would want to take back the money invested in Ukraine by the US government.
"They have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earth, in terms of oil and gas. <…> I want our money secured, because we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars. <…> They may make a deal, they may not make a deal. They may be Russian someday or they may not be Russian someday, but we are going to have all this money in there, and I say I want it back. And I told them that I want the equivalent, like $500 billion worth of rare earth. And they have essentially agreed to do that, so at least we don’t feel stupid," he said in an interview with Fox News.
Trump added that he had warned Kiev that the US "can’t continue to pay this money" like it had previously done.
The US leader reiterated that the conflict in Ukraine would not have started if he stayed in office after his first term. "I say it all the time, this would have never happened if I were president, if the elections weren’t rigged. <…> This [conflict] would have never happened. It wouldn’t happen with [Russian President] Putin, and [the Hamas armed militant’s attack on Israel on] October 7 would have never happened, either," Trump said.

Дональд Трамп допустил, что Украина может стать Россией:
ReplyDelete«Знаете, они могут заключить сделку, могут не заключить сделку, они могут когда-нибудь стать Россией, а могут и не стать, но у нас там будут все эти деньги, и я говорю, что хочу их вернуть. И я сказал им, что хочу эквивалент, например, редкоземельных металлов на 500 миллиардов долларов, и они, по сути, согласились на это», – заявил президент США в интервью Fox News.
