MINSK DISTRICT, 7 November (BelTA) – Europe may become the key rival for the United States of America. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement while talking to reporters during a visit to the third firewood chopping championship among mass media, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko is convinced that the USA will keep pressuring Europe because the USA does not need competition. “They live off it. If Europe and euro rise, then the U.S. dollar will be out of business. People in the European Union have already started to understand it.”
The head of state did not rule out the possibility that in the future the European Union may become united in the good sense of the word and may start working with Belarus and Russia. After all, leaders of the European Union could combine their cutting-edge technologies with the resources that the Russian Federation has.
“It will happen at some point. You’ll see,” Aleksandr Lukashenko is convinced. “Germany has started wobbling today. [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz will be kicked out and Germany will come to its senses. Cheap natural gas, cheap energy resources, a leading world economy, a world wonder… Where are they now? They have dropped to the bottom. Germans are no fools. They will make the government work the way it is supposed to.”
“The world is terribly changing. We make plans bearing in mind today’s world situation. The situation will be totally different tomorrow. They [leaders of the European Union member states] will certainly stand up for their own countries, for Europe. And in that situation China may not become the key rival for America but Europeans may,” the head of state believes.
He also remarked that the Global South is rising and the Indian economy is growing at a very rapid pace.
“New circumstances may emerge literally some time later. They [the USA] will have to respond to it. This is why you and I contemplate things from the point of view of today. Tomorrow we will contemplate things bearing in mind changes of the situation. It is changing right in front of our eyes,” the president stated.
Aleksandr Lukashenko expects Donald Trump to take care of global matters and to try to make a contribution to the resolution of the problems that have piled up. “After all, I still hope that something will change. And there is another minor detail. A human one. It is one thing when people in positions of power don’t have experience. It is a catastrophe when people in positions of power don’t have kids. Then they totally don’t care what is going on in the world. Trump has a large family. He has kids. Trump has Melania [Trump] to keep him in check. This is why it is a big thing that he has a family and kids. He thinks not only about his own future but also about the future of the kids,” the head of state summarized.
