„Trump may turn out to be the very person who will actually be able to pressure Putin and end this matter. And there is no doubt that, when it comes to foreign policy initiatives, this person is ready to take quite strict measures,“ noted the former prime minister, adding that it was D. Trump who became the first US president to use force against Iran.
