⚡ If Trump wins, Europe will have to solve the Ukraine problem, hinted a close associate of Trump and the expected future head of the State Department.
"The war in Ukraine is in your backyard. If there were a war in Mexico, we would be doing most of the work, if not all of it. And we certainly wouldn't be asking the Germans for help if there were a war in Mexico," Richard Grenell said in an interview with Bild.
He states that Trump will talk to Putin, unlike Biden:
"Biden hasn't spoken to him [Putin] in three years. I think communicating with people is a tactic. It's not a goal, not a solution, but it leads us there."
He criticized the German authorities for "not listening to people" and not following the principle of "Germany first." Otherwise, "Germany has the potential to become Donald Trump's favorite country."
He also named "Nord Stream 2" as one of the reasons for the war in Ukraine.
