US President Donald Trump is against the introduction of a temporary administration in Ukraine. He didn’t praise Putin’s idea.
This was stated by the press secretary of the US Department of State, Temmi Bruce, as reported by RBC-Ukraine via a post on Telegram “Suspilne Novyny”.
Vaughn emphasized that power in Ukraine is gained by the people under the Constitution of the state.
“So, we know that Russia praised the temporary administration in Ukraine, but did not praise President Trump. Ukraine is a constitutional democracy, and its administration means the Constitution and Ukrainian people,” said Bruce.
She also added that the US administration is working on “the renewed fire in Ukraine and the negotiations between the parties for residual and final regulation.”
“We are working with Russia and Ukraine and want to continue our efforts to bring them to the negotiating table,” the press secretary told the State Department.
What did Putin say and how did the White House react?
Apparently, late Thursday and Friday, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced the introduction of “time management under the auspices of the UN” in Ukraine. According to the head of the Kremlin, in this hour the country can hold a presidential election, and only after that a peaceful settlement can be established.
A spokesperson for National Security of the White House told Reuters that governance in Ukraine depends on its Constitution and people.
In addition, Trump himself reacted within a week. In a telephone interview with NBC News, he revealed that he is already “angry” with Putin through his statements, as well as the fact that the fire has not yet been reached. In connection with this, he threatened to introduce an additional tax on Russian naphtha in the amount of 25%.
“Since we from Russia cannot agree with the cause of bloodshed in Ukraine, and since I respect that it is the province of Russia – but it may not be so – but since I respect that it is the province of Russia, I will second price for naphtha, for all naphtha coming from Russia,” Trump said.
He clarified that tariffs can be introduced within a month, if the fire is not reached. It is true that later, speaking with journalists on board the aircraft, they said that they did not want to introduce tariffs.
