US President Donald Trump does not prefer Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to European partners. He wants to reach a peace agreement and end the war in Ukraine.

Witaker denied the statement that Trump is allegedly closer to Putin than to Europe. This was his response to the comment by the President of the Congress Conference, MEP Mari-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann.

"I am forced to categorically reject this. Perhaps this is how it is perceived on the European continent. But this is not true," he says.
