Many world leaders congratulate Donald Trump after his victory in the US presidential election. According to media reports, the day after the election, Ukrainian President Zelensky called Trump to congratulate him. During this time, Trump was with Elon Musk, who spoke with Zelensky by phone. According to CNN, the conversation was “positive.”
The call lasted seven minutes.
According to the report, Trump was with Elon Musk at his Mar-a-Lago residence. During this time Zelensky called to congratulate the new president-elect. Trump put the phone on speaker and Musk also spoke with Zelensky. Zelensky thanked Musk for helping provide communications via Starlink to Ukraine in its fight with Russia.
Sources said the call lasted about seven minutes and no policies were discussed. Zelensky wrote on social media platform X that he called Trump on Wednesday and congratulated him on his victory.
Trump has called Zelensky a “salesman”
Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election has worried Ukraine. Indeed, Ukraine depends on foreign military aid, especially from the United States, in its nearly three-year war against Russia. Trump has criticized US military and economic aid to Ukraine in its war against Russia.
In his first speech after receiving the Republican Party’s nomination for president, Trump launched a major attack on Zelensky, calling him a brilliant “salesman.” During his election campaign, Trump repeatedly raised the issue that the Biden administration was spending American citizens’ tax money on helping other countries in war, rather than on them.
He had claimed to stop the war within 24 hours.
Donald Trump had said: “Zelensky is probably the best salesman of any leader ever born.” Every time they come to our country and take 60 billion dollars. He came home four days ago with $60 billion from the United States and after arriving there announced that he needed $60 billion more in aid. This will never end.
Trump had stated that he would resolve this issue before the transfer of power after winning the presidential election. He said he could stop the war between Russia and Ukraine within 24 hours and accused the Biden administration of making no effort to end the war.
