The former American official explained: “Trump’s big problem in the Middle East problems is that he is strongly associated with Israel, as are the American Congress and the American media. He must oppose many things to bring Israel to its knees. Moreover, some analysts are convinced that it is the United States that is using Israel in the ierest of US hegemony for oil in the Middle East.

This former American official also said about the relationship between Trump and Putin that Trump and Russian Preside Vladimir Putin are in a difficult position over the conflict in Ukraine, because neither of them can accept other conditions.
The Wall Street Journal recely reported from informed sources that Trump’s team had offered to stop the conflict in the coury and provide new weapons to Kiev in exchange for Ukraine’s refusal to join NATO for at least 20 years. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the Wall Street Journal report as abstract.
