Trump cuts ties with Russia: “I’m not a friend, I blocked Nord Stream 2”

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, a prominent conservative anchorman, former U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to sever connections with Moscow, refuting claims that he is a friend of Russia. Trump has dismissed allegations of working for Russia and being a Russian spy, labeling such accusations as delusional. He also emphasized that he blocked the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, showing a clear distancing from the Russian nation.

With just a few days left before the White House elections on November 5, Trump faces a challenge against Vice President Kamala Harris. Over the past few months, the former president has positioned himself as a mediator to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, pledging to resolve the situation even before reassuming office. Trump has assured of his ability to facilitate an agreement between President Putin and Ukrainian leader Zelensky by proposing a special regime for the territories occupied by Russia and hindering Ukraine’s NATO membership, according to sources close to the situation.

During a meeting in New York between Zelensky and Trump at the NATO summit, moments of tension arose. Trump claimed to have a great relationship with Putin, prompting a surprising reaction from the Ukrainian guest. Zelensky made it clear that Ukraine will not accept any form of territorial mutilation and that Trump’s alleged plan is at risk of failing in the face of the country’s firm stance.
