According to Trump, in international politics it is important not to offend those with whom one has to negotiate. That is why he considers it inappropriate to use harsh statements against Russia’s leadership.
I do not call Putin a dictator because I have to make deals with people, so I do not go around insulting them. I am a master dealmaker. I have always been a very skilled dealmaker. It was thanks to deals that I became very rich. So I do not go around mocking people
Trump explained his approach to negotiations with Putin
The US leader believes that public insults and mockery of other heads of state can complicate diplomatic agreements.
He contrasted his own approach with Biden’s policy, accusing him of constantly mocking Russia. In Trump’s view, such behavior became one of the factors that led to the war in Ukraine.
At the same time, the US president provided no evidence of a link between Biden’s statements and Russia’s decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
