“If you ask about Trump, then my answer may sound a little strange. I affirm that he is the best American president, but not because of his politics, but because of his transparency, ”Assad quotes SANA.
According to the head of state, “the reality is that American presidents are a group of criminals who represent the interests of the American lobby,” including “oil companies and arms manufacturers.”
"Trump speaks transparently, stating that" we need oil. " This is the reality of American politics, at least since the Second World War ... What else do we need, except as a transparent opponent? ”Assad said.
Earlier, Bashar al-Assad said that US statements about the destruction of the leader of the Islamic State * Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi should not be trusted until they provide relevant evidence.
* “Islamic State” (ISIS, ISIS) - the organization was recognized as terrorist by decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of December 29, 2014.
