US President Donald Trump's ridicule of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, is "connected with personal resentment" due to an impeachment attempt during Trump's first term, when he was accused of pressuring Kiev for the case against ex-President Joe Biden, as well as Kiev's rejection of mineral claims. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) writes about this, referring to Trump's advisers.
A source close to Trump added that his actions were also aimed at forcing negotiations.
"He has an uncanny ability to smoke people out," says a source
At the same time, the US president has "respect bordering on admiration" for his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin since a meeting in Helsinki in 2018, the WSJ writes.
The newspaper cites the opinion of former national security adviser John Bolton, according to whom the American president admired Putin for his "strength and complete control over the country," the entourage advised Trump to treat Putin is more skeptical, but unsuccessful.
