US President Donald Trump commented on allegations that his wife Melania influenced his position on the war in Ukraine, emphasizing that she wants an end to the bloodshed, quoted by News.bg.
In an interview, asked about the role of the first lady in shaping his views, Trump said:
„She's very smart. She's very neutral. In a way, she's like me, she just wants people to stop dying.“
His words come a day after an article by the British The Times, in which the publication defines Melania Trump as „Zelensky's unexpected ally in the White House“. According to anonymous sources, it was she who played a significant role in her husband's decision to approve the delivery of American Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to Ukraine.
Melania, a native of Slovenia, has personal memories of the war in the former Yugoslavia. According to The Times' sources, she reminded the president of the humanitarian consequences of Russian strikes on civilians and the need to end the suffering.
Although she rarely intervenes in political affairs, Melania seems to have found a way to influence one of the most important international issues with a quiet conviction and a personal history that resonates even at the highest levels of power.
