MINSK, 19 March (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko suggested discussing the war in the Middle East and regional problems during the talks with the U.S. delegation led by Special Envoy for Belarus John Coale in Minsk on 19 March, BelTA has learned.
“I would strongly urge you that we discuss regional problems. Not only the issues surrounding Ukraine, but also global ones. And not only the war in the Middle East,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “I believe my perspective on global issues, especially on the situation in the Middle East, will be important for you, given that you are fighting against our friends. And I am ready to speak frankly on this topic.”

John Coale asked for clarification on whether the discussion concerned the war with Iran.

“Yes, I would very much like you to convey my perspective to Donald Trump. Although I believe the United States has made certain mistakes, I remain a supporter of your president,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stated.
