    Moscow Issues First Response to Trump’s Anti-Russian Remarks

    According to the English section of webangah News agency, citing Mehr News​ Agency and​ RIA Novosti, Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the State‍ Duma’s Committee on International Affairs, commented on U.S. President Donald​ Trump’s statements ⁤made Monday during a meeting with ‍NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House. slutsky said that ⁤resuming missile shipments to Kyiv ‌would be a step backward​ but would ‌not fundamentally change the ‌situation ‌regarding Russia’s special military operation.

    The head of the State Duma ⁣committee also described Trump’s remarks as mostly a political maneuver.

    Earlier⁢ at the ​White House, Donald Trump stated: “I have never been satisfied with Russia and feel negatively about them. I hope we don’t have to impose more tariffs. If we do not reach an‌ agreement within‍ 50 days, secondary tariffs will be‌ applied; it is very simple. At least ⁤100 percent tariffs will be imposed. A 500 percent tariff is meaningless; 100 percent seems⁢ sufficient.”

    He added: “We‍ make the best weapons and arms, and⁢ Europeans know this. ⁤We have reached an agreement​ under wich we will send⁤ weapons ​to them, and in turn they ⁤(Europeans) will pay for them-America will not pay anything. We are sending Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine. We are trying⁣ to provide these ​systems to Kyiv soon-perhaps within ⁤days-through countries that already possess Patriots.”

    Trump explained further: “We can exchange those systems; those countries can send their Patriots with coordination through NATO’s ‌secretary general, while we replace them ourselves. NATO covers all costs-we do not pay anything.” He concluded by saying: “Biden should have ⁣done this earlier. One country has 17 Patriot systems ready for dispatch-they won’t ‌need those Patriots⁤ anymore.” ​he emphasized plans for a swift agreement on ‍this matter.
