Washington – Former Secretary of State and former former Trump rival Hillary Clinton said Friday that if Mr. Trump ceded his territory to Russia ended in the Ukrainian war without Kiev, she would nominate him herself to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Clinton commented on Jessica Tarlov's podcast “Anger Moderates”, Mr. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin Meet In Alaska, discuss the possible end of the Russian war in Ukraine.
Honestly, if he could end this terrible war, Putin was the invader, invading a neighbor, trying to change the borders – if he could have to put Ukraine in a position of aggressiveness and not put Ukraine in a position of aggression, then in some way, Putin's vision, not Putin's opportunity, we can be sure, we can see Putin's vision, but we can see that,'
“To make it clear that there must be a ceasefire. There will be no exchange of territory. And, for some time, Putin should actually withdraw from the territory he captured to prove his goodwill efforts, let's say, don't threaten European security.” “If we can achieve this, if President Trump is the architect of it, I will nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize because my goal is not to allow the surrender of the United States, help and teaching in the United States. I think this is a terrible, terrible precedent.”
“What I dreamt about is that, for a variety of reasons, including the elusive Nobel Peace Prize, President Trump may actually represent Putin on behalf of Putin on behalf of Ukraine and its democracy and its very brave people, and frankly, our own security and interests.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr and Ukrainians hope that Russia will completely evacuate from Ukraine, including Russian territory, which Russia has occupied.
Mr. Trump’s supporters yelled “lock her” to Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, and he praised the remarks of his official rival. The president told Fox News's Bret Baier on Friday that Clinton was “very good” words, “I might have to start to like her again.”
Clinton said Friday that she hopes Mr. Trump remembers that he was at a military base “must send planes to watch and defeat Russian bombers that routinely harass our military assets, escape over high ground, and engage in provocative acts in the sky of Alaska.”
“I hope he can remember this,” she continued. “He didn't meet with a friend. He was meeting with an opponent, and there was an opponent who wanted to play him. Frankly, the best thing this might bring may not be much, no agreement, except for the real understanding of President Trump's understanding that Putin is not alone and you can make a deal with expectations.”
