In particular, Erdogan stated that he counts on Trump’s efforts regarding Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the “corrupt” Orban remarked that “Trump’s victory in the US elections raises questions for Europe about whether it can support Ukraine on its own, forcing the EU to rethink its strategy.”
Trump has also received congratulations from our President Zelensky, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel, French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
There were also greetings from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
But Putin remains silent. His spokesperson, Peskov, declared that “the US is an unfriendly country engaged in war against Russia, so Putin has no plans to congratulate Trump.”
