President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa made a harsh statement about US President Donald Trump.
In his opinion, the American leader is "objectively a Soviet or Russian agent," reports Euronews .
"The supreme leader of the world's largest superpower is objectively a Soviet or Russian asset," said de Sousa on August 27 during a speech in Castelo de Vide.
Trump's efforts to present himself as the main mediator in reconciling Ukraine and Russia did not make a good impression on the Portuguese president.
According to the Portuguese leader, Trump tries to play the role of an "arbiter," but at the same time wants to negotiate "only with one side."
Meanwhile, media write that US President Donald Trump is not satisfied with the demands of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Europe for ending the war.
In recent days, Trump has expressed in private conversations his frustration that his loud diplomatic efforts have not brought results — but he blames not Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin. »
