CurrentReport Blog Former U.S. President Donald Trump has boldly asserted that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war would not have occurred if he were still in power. The statement was made on Monday via a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, following a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The meeting was organized by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the current chair of the G7, to mark the third anniversary of the war.
Trump emphasized that, under his leadership, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine would have been avoided, claiming, “This war would have never started if I was President.” The former president also highlighted the discussions surrounding the “Critical Minerals and Rare-Earths Deal” between the United States and Ukraine, which he believes will play a pivotal role in resolving the crisis.
In his post, Trump noted the importance of this deal, which he described as an “Economic Partnership” that would help the American people recoup the tens of billions of dollars and military equipment sent to Ukraine. Additionally, the deal aims to support Ukraine’s economy as the war comes to an end.
Trump’s remarks have reignited conversations about his foreign policy views and his stance on the ongoing conflict. As the situation continues to evolve, his statements reflect his ongoing influence on political discourse surrounding U.S. foreign relations and the war in Ukraine.
