Trump: France is the oldest US ally

“France is the oldest ally in America,” US President Donald Trump told a joint news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday evening. The cooperation of the two countries has always been in line with freedom. “We are now working for peace in Ukraine.”

“The Ukrainian War is the worst war since World War II,” he said. The purpose of our meeting today is to end this terrible war. The Ukrainian War is one of the deadliest wars in history. Thousands of people are killed every week. Today, the third anniversary of the Ukrainian war is a war that would not have begun if I was a president. “

“Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and Russian have been killed without aimed,” Trump said. The beautiful cities of Ukraine are the same as the soil. It’s time to end this war. We had some good conversations about this. We have consulted with Russia since I returned to the White House. There are many efforts to achieve peace. “

Referring to the recent meeting of US and Russian delegations in Riyadh, he said: “Last week, Foreign Minister Mike Waltz (US National Security Adviser) and Steve Witekaf had a successful meeting with Russian officials in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “.”

Trump appreciated Saudi Arabia to host the meeting and appreciate their efforts to reach a “ceasefire” in Ukraine.

“Emmanuel is with me,” the US president added. Now the time of peace has come. It is a dangerous situation, it can lead to World War III. I am pleased with Macron’s consent that the cost of maintaining peace in Ukraine should be the responsibility of European countries. Europe must maintain Ukraine’s security. The US has helped Ukraine more than any other country. “We helped Ukraine more than $ 5 billion and Europe has only contributed $ 5 billion.”

“This is a lot of difference,” he said. This dispute must be resolved. European aid to Ukraine is a loan. America must also be able to recapture its money. The previous US government never thought about this. They did not think about the reasons for the start of the war either. “We will sign an agreement on minerals and other valuable resources to return US capital with Ukraine, and Emmanuel (French President) will help us reach the deal.”

“I was selected by American citizens to bring back common sense to America and the world,” Trump added. Stopping the killing is in the interest of everyone. My government is compensating for the failures of foreign policy of previous governments. I’m sorry that the mistakes of previous governments have led to killing around the world. My government is looking for peace in the world. “

“There was no problem in my first government in the world,” he said. There was no October 7th. There was no Ukrainian war. There are now these problems and we will resolve them. “I had the best month for the US President in history, according to people.”

“I want to be recognized as a peacekeeper,” Trump said.

“In recent days, we all had a common goal,” Macron also said during his speech. We had many achievements in our conversations. We all support Zelksky and the people of Ukraine and lasting peace. “In recent weeks, efforts to achieve peace have intensified.”

“We thought it would take only a few weeks to take a few weeks,” he said, acknowledging the West’s defeat in the Ukrainian war. We appreciate the courage of the Ukrainian people. Europe has contributed $ 5 billion to Ukraine. Ukraine has been able to maintain European security. “No one in the world wants to live in a world where international law does not matter and the most powerful countries determine the law.”

The French president also appreciated Trump’s decision to cooperate with Ukraine to reach an agreement on Ukraine’s valuable sources.

“We also want peace and save people and the return of prisoners,” Macron added. “We talked about stopping the Ukrainian war to reach a ceasefire and ultimately lasting peace.”

“After the ceasefire, talks on rebuilding Ukraine, how to ensure its security and lasting peace will be discussed,” he said. We want an agreement that does not end in the Minsk agreements. European leaders are one opinion. Peace should not mean surrendering Ukraine. Peace must mean the return of Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Europe also must accept its responsibility for maintaining security in Ukraine and Europe. “This includes Europe’s existential security.”
