US President's special envoy Steve Witkoff said he does not support British leader Keir Starmer's plan to deploy a European peacekeeping force to Ukraine.
Points of attention
- Trump's representative dismisses Starmer's plan as simplistic, drawing parallels to Winston Churchill, and expresses admiration for Putin.
- Steve Witkoff's defense of Putin's character and actions, including claims of praying for Trump's safety, adds a new dimension to the ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Witkoff made a new scandalous statement
Donald Trump's representative voiced his cynical position during an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson.
According to Steve Witkoff, he considers Keir Starmer's plan "posturing."
Moreover, the official claims that this plan is based on the "simplistic" idea of European leaders that "we should all be like Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister, who held this position twice — ed.)".
Trump's special envoy doesn't even hide that he "likes" Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who has killed millions of people.
I don't think Putin is a bad guy. He's very smart.
