در سفر زلنسکی به آمریکا، ترامپ که زیر فشار رسانه های طرفدار حزب دموکرات قرار گرفته بود که پویا از رییس جمهور اوکراین خواسته تا مدارکی بر علیه پسر رقیب انتخاباتی ترامپ، پسر جو بایدن، منتشر کند و فساد اداری او را در اوکراین افشا کند، این نشست مطبوعاتی برگزار شد و زلنسکی در آن گفت که برای این موضوع زیر هیچ فشاری نبوده است.
Ukraine president said ‘nobody pushed me’ to investigate Biden
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said at a meeting Wednesday with President Donald Trump that “nobody pushed me” to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Speaking at a bilateral meeting at the United Nations in New York, Zelensky said the phone call he had with Trump in July, where Trump asked him to look into the former vice president and his son, Hunter, was “normal.” Trump repeated that there was “no pressure” on Zelensky but added that the Ukrainian leader should do “whatever he can do in terms of corruption.” Trump added, without evidence, that the money Hunter Biden made while a board member of a Ukrainian company constitutes corruption. The U.S. president also added, again with no evidence, that he believes Hillary Clinton’s emails that were deleted from her server could be in Ukraine. He also defended his decision to involve his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani in the requests he made to Ukraine. Guiliani does not have an official job at the White House.
