US President Donald Trump has promised to end the war in Ukraine and prevent World War III.
“I will end the war in Ukraine. I will stop the chaos in the Middle East. I will prevent World War III, and you have no idea how close we are to it,” he said during a speech on the eve of his inauguration.
Trump has instructed his aides to arrange a phone call with Russian dictator Putin within a few days of his inauguration. One of the goals of the call will be to discuss a personal meeting in the coming months to end the war in Ukraine.
In addition, he will instruct the military to create an Iron Dome missile defense system to ensure the United States’s security. Trump also promised to “unblock” oil production in the country.
In turn, Putin congratulated Trump on his inauguration and expressed his readiness for an equal dialog to discuss long-term peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all peoples in the region.
