MINSK, 31 July (BelTA) – Donald Trump's return to the U.S. presidency has opened a window of opportunity for improving relations, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with heads of Belarusian diplomatic missions in Minsk on 31 July, BelTA has learned.
"You know Trump’s principle: ‘America First’. But perhaps that’s better than the ‘liberal world order’ that existed under Biden," the head of state remarked. "Recent meetings with the Americans have shown they are willing to listen. No groveling on our part. Trump’s return to the White House has opened a window of opportunity to improve relations. Perhaps even to clear away some of the obstacles the U.S. created, which hinder our work in global markets."
"Our task is to seize this opportunity while firmly safeguarding Belarus' interests, refusing to make concessions that would work against us," the Belarusian leader emphasized.
