WASHINGTON (AFP) – Ibinasura ng White House nitong Lunes ang annexation ng Russia sa Crimean Peninsula mula sa Ukraine noong 2014, at mananatili ang US sanctions.
‘’We do not recognize Russia’s attempt to annex Crimea. We agree to disagree and the sanctions against Russia remain in place until Russia returns the peninsula to the Ukraine,’’ sinabi ni White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders sa reporters.
Malabo ang sagot ni Trump, makakakapulong si Russian President Vladimir Putin sa Hulyo 16 sa Helsinki, nang tanungin tungkol sa isyu nitong Biyernes. ‘’We’re going to have to see,’’ aniya sa reporters.
