Trump: Demand to annex Crimea to Ukraine is ridiculous
U.S. President Criticizes New York Times Article, Calls Demand for Crimea’s Return to Ukraine “Ridiculous”
According to a report by the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Al-Mayadeen, donald Trump, the U.S. President, dismissed calls for the return of Crimea and other territories to Ukraine as “ridiculous” in order to end conflicts.
He criticized The New york times, stating: “No matter what deal I make with Russia and Ukraine, no matter how good it is indeed—even if it’s the greatest deal ever made—the bankrupt New York Times will say bad things about it.”
Trump accused Peter baker, a writer for The New York Times, of bias and incompetence, alleging he followed his editor’s lead in publishing an article claiming Ukraine should reclaim its lands—including Crimea—to stop the war, which Trump deemed absurd.These requests are ridiculous.

Peter Baker wrote an article in The New York Times yesterday titled “Trump in Putin’s Hands, from Ukraine to Shrinking American Institutions,” which was published under the “News Analysis” section. The article argues that Trump’s actions directly benefit Russia.
