[ワシントン １０日 ロイター] – Former President Trump, who has been confirmed as the Republican candidate for the US presidential election, believes that it is inappropriate for him to visit Ukraine at this time because he is not a sitting president. His campaign announced this on the 10th.
In an interview with German media outlet Axel Springer published on the 9th, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy requested a visit to hear Trump’s thoughts on ending Russia’s invasion.
Zelenskiy’s campaign said there had been no formal request from Zelenskiy, but “(Trump) has publicly stated that it would be inappropriate for him to visit Ukraine at this time because he is not the commander-in-chief.” .
It is not unusual for U.S. presidential candidates to visit foreign countries to highlight their diplomatic achievements, and Trump himself visited Mexico during the 2016 presidential campaign and met with then-President Peña Nieto.
The Washington Post reported on the 7th that Trump told those around him that he could end the war by pressuring Ukraine to cede border areas in Crimea and Donbas to Russia.
Zelenskiy said he was open to hearing Trump’s proposal, but expressed skepticism. “If it’s a deal where we just give up territory and that’s the idea behind it, it’s a very primitive idea,” he said.
