Mexican Foreign Minister Announces Meeting of Government with US Secretary of Justice
US
President Donald Trump explained that in a telephone conversation with his
Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky in July, he asked for a service for the
country, and not for himself.
"When I spoke on the phone to the
president of Ukraine:" I want you to do us a favor, because our country
has gone through a lot and Ukraine knows about it, under US, I meant the USA,
our country," the president wrote on Twitter on Wednesday night.
"Then I said:" I want the Attorney General
to call you or your people <...>. "Democrats must apologize to the
Americans!" - said Trump.
The United States is shocked by a major
scandal that erupted around Trump’s July conversation with Zelensky. The complaint of an unnamed American
intelligence officer about the contents of the conversation eventually became
the reason for the beginning of the impeachment proceedings against the head of
the American administration. According
to Trump’s political opponents, he tried to convince Zelensky to begin an
investigation into the activities of the son of former US Vice President Joseph
Biden in Ukraine in exchange for financial and military assistance to Kiev.
Democrat Biden is one of Trump's most likely
rivals in the upcoming November 2020 presidential election. Therefore, according to the Democrats, Trump,
putting pressure on Zelensky, in fact, sought to enlist the support of Kiev in
the domestic political struggle.
