The new President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, spoke out after the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He spoke about the latest developments in the Middle East.
In a post on the social network Truth Social, Trump said that Assad had left the country.
"Assad is gone. He fled his country. His protector, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was no longer interested in protecting him. There was no reason for Russia to be there at all. They lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where nearly 600,000 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded in a war that should never have started, and could last forever. Russia and Iran are currently in a weakened state, one because of Ukraine and its poor economy, the other because of Israel and its combat success," Trump said.
He said that both Zelensky and Ukraine want to achieve peace.
"They have lost, insanely, 400,000 soldiers and many more civilians. There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations. Too many lives are being wasted needlessly, too many families are being destroyed, and if this continues, it could turn into something much bigger and much worse. I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The world is waiting!", concluded Trump.
