Crimea referred to as massive sea-bound territory by Donald Trump
In an interview with American journalist Mark Levin, President Donald Trump expressed his views on the future of Ukraine and Crimea.
Contrary to the possibility of Kyiv joining NATO, Trump stated that such an entry was impossible. He further mentioned that Ukraine must give up the hope of regaining Crimea, calling both the prospect of joining NATO and the return of Crimea as impossible. Trump framed this as part of a possible peace agreement demanded by Russia, requiring Ukraine to recognize Crimea as Russian territory and relinquish claims to it.
Trump also asserted that he did not give Crimea to Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a somewhat confusing statement, Trump described Crimea as being located in the middle of the ocean, a claim that was later corrected by Russian news agency TASS. However, Trump clarified his statement by describing Crimea as a vast piece of land, approximately the size of Texas. He further emphasized that Crimea is magnificent.
In the same interview, Trump criticized the U.S. media for often criticizing him for being too soft on Russia. He also pointed out that the press does not mention the return of Crimea to Ukraine, a fact that has been a topic of international dispute since 2014.
Trump also blamed former President Barack Obama for giving away Crimea, although it is important to note that Crimea was annexed by Russia, not given away by the United States.
Despite the controversy surrounding his comments, Trump's interview with Mark Levin provided insight into his views on the complex geopolitical issues surrounding Ukraine and Crimea.
