Great sensation aroused Donald Trump’s first foreign policy acts. There are those who accuse him of being on the side of Vladimir Putin, those who have it of having orchestrated an “ethnic cleaning” in the Gaza strip, some of having even tense a “ambushed” in Volodymyr Zelensky during his visit to the oval study. In reality, net of each sensitivity, it is still too early to develop a solid judgment on a series of situations that – from Ukraine to the Middle East – are currently evolving. Often the speckling trivializations to the patient understanding the general picture in its complexity are preferred. It is therefore to have an internal point of view to the current American administration that The truth Brian Hughes interviewed exclusively: the spokesman for the National Security Council of the White House. Once Senior Advisor of the Trump campaign, Hughes was responsible for communicating his presidential transition team, and then landed on the assignment he currently holds alongside the director for American national security, Mike Waltz. In particular, we talked about Ukraine, Middle East and transatlantic relationships.
Brian Hughes, rather harsh controversies were recorded in Italy on the dispute between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in the oval study. Some newspapers and political environments also accuse the tenant of the White House of backing Vladimir Putin. What is the point of view of the American administration in an attempt to resolve the Ukrainian crisis?
“President Trump is on the side of peace. In order for this three -year war and all that blood and that death end, both sides must be ready to discuss a path to peace. Ukrainians and Russians paid with blood, Europeans and Americans paid with money. What remains is an infinite and brutal war, unless we work for peace “.
And of the relationship between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky what can you tell me?
“President Trump was happy to welcome President Volodymy Zlensky to the White House President and we all expected a party that day around the signing of the agreement on minerals. The agreement on minerals is important for the United States because it starts the recovery of money already paid by American taxpayers. It would be important for Ukraine, because there is no better economic partner of the United States. “
We come to the Middle East. In Italy, the reconstruction plan proposed by Trump for the Gaza Strip was severely criticized by a large part of the media establishment. There are even those who accuse the American president of promoting “ethnic cleaning” against the Palestinians. How does it respond to these accusations?
“In the Middle East for generations, instability is largely due to the fact that in the Gaza strip the world continues to repeat the same solutions repeatedly. President Trump has developed a new bold idea in the effort to reconstruct Gaza. The goal is to see lasting peace and stability for the entire region. Hamas must be driven out and the Palestinians must be transferred while dealing with the horror of the demolition area. They may want ten or twenty years. “
Coming to Italy, do you see significant collaboration spaces between the Trump administration and the Giorgia Meloni government? I am mainly referring to the Mediterranean.
“President Trump had a good relationship with Giorgia Meloni and loves the Italian people. Our nations enjoy a long and important friendship “.
