MINSK, 11 September (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko thanked US President Donald Trump for the efforts he is making towards establishing peace in various parts of the world. The head of state made this statement during a meeting with U.S. president’s representative John Coale in Minsk on 10 September, BelTA has learned.
“I was thinking about what to say first. But, however banal it may sound, I want to thank your President (not because I want to flatter him here, that is alien to me) for the efforts he is making towards peace, primarily in our region,” the head of state said. “It doesn't matter whether he has stopped seven, six wars or conflicts. He has stopped quite a few conflicts. I say this as a historian and as a president who has been in office for a long time: no president of the United States of America has made as many efforts or such efforts to ensure peace on the planet. I think you will figure out the economy and tariffs yourselves. Nevertheless, John, I am grateful to your friend Donald for the efforts he is carrying out in world politics today.”
“Thank you! I very much appreciate that,” John Coale said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized the importance of the USA continuing to act in this direction: “The most important thing now, as I see it (and not just me; you know the recent SCO meeting discussed this extensively, especially on the sidelines), is that Donald, despite his turbulent, explosive character, does not cool off towards this topic. The main thing is that you - Americans - maintain the trend you have set today regarding a peace agreement, especially here in the region - in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.”
“Most importantly, I wish you more objectivity. It is necessary to listen to everyone, which Donald knows how to do, but he must draw his own conclusions,” the Belarusian leader added.
