Putin doesn’t want to congratulate Trump

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he did not want to congratulate Trump. To justify this, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out that the USA viewed Russia as an “unfriendly country”. Putin will judge the new US president by his “concrete measures.”

China reacted with diplomatic restraint. “We will continue to manage China-US relations on the basis of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and cooperation for the benefit of both sides,” said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning. “We respect the choice of the American people,” she added.

According to AfD leader Tino Chrupalla, it is unclear whether Trump can bring peace to the Middle East conflict. He will fuel the conflagration, says Left Party leader Ines Schwerdtner.06.11.2024 | 6:28 min
