President Trump announces intention to withdraw US from Ukraine conflict
President Donald Trump said he would soon withdraw the US from the conflict in Ukraine, because this is "not his fight".
According to RIA Novosti on August 6, US President Donald Trump said that he hopes to soon withdraw the US from the Ukraine conflict.
“This is Biden’s fight, not mine. I’m here to get us out of it,” President Trump told reporters at the White House.
According to Mr. Trump, the US government is working very hard to achieve this, and the White House owner himself is also looking forward to resolving the situation around Ukraine.
“I have stopped many wars. This is one of the ones I am trying to stop,” President Trump said.
Responding to reporters' questions about the possibility of increasing sanctions against Moscow, President Trump said he would make a decision after a meeting between Russia and the US on August 6.
"On August 6, we have a meeting with Russia. Let's see what comes out of it. Then we'll make a decision," the US leader said.
Commenting on the possibility of imposing 100% tariffs on goods from all countries that buy Russian energy carriers, President Trump replied that he never set a percentage.
Earlier, Reuters, citing sources, said that US President's special envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff would fly to Russia on August 6 or 7. This will be the diplomat's fifth visit to Russia since the beginning of this year. The last two times Mr. Witkoff came on April 11 and 25 to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
