Fri 15 November 2024:

US President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday that his administration will work hard to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

“We’re going to work on the Middle East, and we’re going to work very hard on Russia and Ukraine. It’s gotta stop. Russia and Ukraine’s gotta stop,” Trump said at a gala for the America First Policy Institute at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida.

“I saw a report today. Thousands of people over the last three days were killed. Thousands and thousands were killed. They happened to be soldiers, but whether they’re soldiers or they’re people sitting in towns, we’re going to work it,” he added.

Turning to his election victory last week, Trump said the American people delivered “something very, very amazing.”

“The biggest political victory in 129 years…We swept all swing states. We won the popular vote,” he said.

He stressed that the country is “doing good” since he was elected on Nov. 5.

“Now the only thing is, Mr. Speaker, I think it’s important, maybe you should pass a bill — you have to start my term from Nov. 5, OK? Or Nov. 6 if you want. Nov. 5, because the market’s gone through the roof, enthusiasm’s doubled in the last short while,” he said.

Republicans secured a majority in last week’s election, assuming control of the House and Senate and the White House.

Trump won the election with 312 electoral votes, surpassing the 270 threshold against his Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris.

He will be sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2025 for a four-year term.

Russia monitoring formation of Trump’s cabinet

The Kremlin on Thursday said Russia is monitoring the formation of US President-elect Donald Trump’s second-term administration.

“We are certainly monitoring this, but believe me, this is not our top priority. It is too early to talk about anything right now,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow.

Denying any talks between the Trump administration and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Peskov said it is too early to talk if obstacles to the normal work of the UN headquarters in New York will be removed during Trump’s second term in office.

“This is not the only question that can be put to the American side. The agenda of irritating issues (between Moscow and Washington) is so extensive that it would be wrong to single out one issue as a priority,” Peskov added.
