Donald Trump said he stopped the conflict between Azerbaijan and Albania, likely confusing the latter with Armenia. He also claims that Barack Obama gave Crimea to Russia - "a huge piece of land in the middle of the ocean."
US President Donald Trump, in an interview with American journalist Mark Levin, stated that he had already stopped a number of wars in the world - including the conflict between "Azerbaijan and Albania." This is reported by UNN.
Details
Presumably, the head of the White House confused Albania with Armenia.
You saw Azerbaijan, there was a conflict there for 34-35 years with Albania. ... I met their leaders through trade. I said: why are you fighting?
He also stated that Barack Obama, during his presidency, gave Crimea to Russia, which is "a huge piece of land in the middle of the ocean, the size of Texas."
"Crimea was the heart and soul of that country. It's a beautiful, huge territory that sticks right out into the ocean, into the Black Sea. ... And Obama said: give it to Russia," Trump said.
Recall
US President Donald Trump, during a press conference on the eve of a meeting in Alaska, mistakenly said several times that he was going to Russia for negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
