MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The peaceful resolution of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East has been an important part of Donald Trump's political program. After being elected president, he said that the Ukraine conflict was more difficult to settle than the one in the Middle East.
US President-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that he would wait for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to address the resolution to the Ukrainian conflict.
"President Putin said that he wants to meet me as soon as possible. So we have to wait for this, but we have to end that war," Trump said while speaking at the Turning Point USA conference in the state of Arizona.
Trump called the conflict in Ukraine "horrible" and reiterated that if he had been the president of the United States instead of the current head of state, Joe Biden, this conflict would not have happened.
