When asked which of the Belarusian leader’s main messages he liked best, Mario Nawfal replied, “The most important thing is that he wants peace.”

Raising the topic of agreements between the East and the West, journalists of the President’s press pool drew Mario Nawfal’s attention to the fact that Belarus and Russia, e.g., have been pursuing a clear and consistent policy for years and it was possible to build a dialogue with them for decades, which is not the case with the countries of Europe and especially the United States. Is it possible to build a long-term dialogue in such a situation?

The American blogger on this point frankly admitted that nothing can be certain, “You may have confidence in your President, who has been in power for thirty years and has a consistent policy. Meanwhile, there are constant changes in Europe and America, new administrations, new people come to power, their positions change. But what I can say for sure is that Trump is acting today at such a speed that if normalisation of relations with Russia is achieved, it will be almost impossible to reverse these results.”

According to Mario Nawfal, many people are already starting to ‘wake up’ and realise that there are two sides to everything and that not everything is black and white.
