So, we must wait for that. But we must put an end to the war. The war is terrible, terrible, says Trump during a speech at an event for Republican and conservative voices in Phoenix, Arizona, reports CNBC.
Trump, who returns to the White House in January, said during the election campaign that he can put an end to the war in Ukraine "within 24 hours".
Takes a hard line on trans people
The incoming president has also recently said that it is possible that Ukraine will receive less support from the US when he takes office as president. He has also criticized the current government for giving the green light for Ukraine to attack targets within Russia with American Atacms rockets.
In the speech, Trump also took a hard line on trans people, saying that he will prevent them from working in the military, schools, and sports.
He also repeated his threat that the US may demand that the Panama Canal be returned to American control and expressed irritation over the fees that the US now has to pay to use the waterway.
Belongs to Panama
Trump first expressed his views on the Panama Canal on social media on Saturday. On Sunday, the president of the Central American country, José Raúl Mulino, responded in a filmed statement on X.
Every square meter of the Panama Canal and the surrounding area belongs to Panama and it will continue to do so, he says.
The canal was completed by the US in 1914. President Jimmy Carter signed an agreement in 1977 stating that Panama would regain full control over the canal in 1999, which also happened.
