Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky was not invited to attend US President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony next month, the incoming president told reporters on Monday.
Trump, who defeated Democratic rival Kamala Harris last month, will officially be sworn in as the 47th president of the US on January 20 at an inauguration ceremony at the Capitol in Washington, DC.
On Monday, Trump held his first formal press conference since winning the election.
Asked by journalists whether he had invited Zelensky, Trump responded, “No, I didn’t invite him.” He, however, added, “If he’d like to come, I’d like to have him.”
Trump met with Zelensky this month in Paris along with French President Emmanuel Macron for talks centered on the Ukraine crisis. Trump, who was reportedly reluctant to meet Zelensky, said afterwards that he wanted the hostilities between Moscow and Kiev to end as soon as possible.
allies are important… this move will strengthen russia and china turning public opinion on him… he will as unpopular as ruto… prices will go up, visas will be issued on America,and allegiances will shift
Trump was voted by Americans to make them greater again. Why fund NATO while taxing your citizen to death. Americans are living on paycheck to paycheck. Kila mtu ni madeni. Almost 70% cannot afford 400 USD emergency.
NATO should be disbanded. Hio pesa wa fund their ailing infrastructure na to curb homelessness.
