Lukashenko contemplates who can become next U.S. president after Trump

MINSK, 8 August (BelTA) – In an interview with the U.S. magazine Time Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko offered an opinion about who can become the next U.S. president after Donald Trump, BelTA has learned.

Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “And Trump is right by making Europe bend to his will. I just don’t want it to be a performance. And Trump can accomplish a lot. He would win the mid-term elections. He could be the new president. If not him, then JD Vance. A decent man. I like him.”

It is curious that the interview with the Belarusian head of state was recorded in late July while in August Donald Trump admitted that it is most likely that U.S. Vice President JD Vance may become a Republican candidate during the next election.
