Medvedev takes another jab at Trump's global maneuvers
"He won't fool us," wrote Dmitry Medvedev on Telegram, commenting on the early days of Donald Trump's presidency in the United States. The deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation believes that Trump "is trying to confuse the entire world."
Many pieces of information provided by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.
Dmitry Medvedev posted a photo on social media from 2017, taken during Donald Trump's first term as President. The photograph shows politicians at the ASEAN summit in Manila, and the published shot appears to be favorable to Trump.
Medvedev mocks Trump: "He won't fool Russia"
Medvedev used photos from almost eight years ago to comment on Trump's recent actions after returning to the White House. "In the first week of his second term in the White House, Donald Trump tried to confuse the entire world. But he won't fool us (Russia - ed.)!" wrote the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
The former president of Russia has not refrained from commenting on the actions of the current U.S. President. "Once again, it has become evident to everyone that the modern world is not interested in the 'golden age of America,' as Donald Trump theatrically announced during his inauguration, but rather in the development and prosperity of all humanity. Together let's make the world a better place," Medvedev wrote in a propagandistic post a few days ago, referencing Trump's election slogan.
Donald Trump's term might bring a turnaround in Washington's relations with Moscow. While Joe Biden strongly supported Ukraine following the Russian aggression in 2022, his successor plans to end the broad support for Kyiv. At the same time, the current White House occupant has not ruled out talks with Vladimir Putin and the re-establishment of relations with the controversial leader.
Simultaneously, Trump's new administration's actions may target China. Recently, the new president threatened Beijing with imposing tariffs on various products, potentially affecting economic exchanges between the two countries.
