In a call to the press to sign a statement for the 90th anniversary of Social Security, President Donald Trump has reviewed, to media questions, several current issues, starting with the meeting, the access of journalists to Gaza or the commercial relationship with China and Brazil,. The Republican has been very critical of what he considers “the unfair treatment” dispensed to Bolsonaro by the administration of Lula da Silva. “What they are trying to do with Bolsonaro is a political execution,” Trump said.
“Brazil has very bad laws; or try to imprison him, and I know him, and I can assure you that I am very good with people. I think he is an honest man,” Trump said. “They try to carry out a political execution with Bolsonaro. It seems terrible to me,” he added, ensuring that Brazil has been a lousy commercial partner in terms of tariffs, which is why he has applied a 50%tax.
Although the president has focused on the exhibition of Force of the National Guard in the Federal Capital with his usual exaggerations – his statements about the alleged anomia of the city -, he has also suggested the possible presence of European leaders in the second meeting, “the most important”, which he will celebrate with Putin and with the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski. “We have a meeting with Putin tomorrow. I think it will be a good meeting, but the most important will be the second: with Putin, Zelenski and myself, and perhaps we take some European leaders, or perhaps not. I don’t know. It will be very important, we will see what happens,” Trump said in the oval office.
As for, he has argued that he believes that “Putin will do peace” and that “Zelenski too”, but minimizing expectations. “We will see if they get along. And if they do, it will be great. I am sure that we will get along,” he said before adding that this war is the “most difficult” of all in which he has intervened in his second mandate. “This war should not have occurred,” he said.
On Gaza’s War, he has been in favor of “to see humanitarian efforts,” referring to those of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a group created by Israel and covered by the US.
On the militarization of the streets of Washington, the Republican has portrayed a city mired in a violent anarchy and to justify the deployment of troops has affirmed again, without evidence, that crime in Washington is “worse than ever.” On the statistical data that indicate the opposite – which crime is at its lowest level in 30 years, according to several indicators -, the president has replicated, again without evidence, which were manipulated by the municipal authorities.
