The US President Donald Trump said that that he is dissatisfied with the situation with Russia’s annexation of Crimea, but does not know what will happen to the peninsula in the future.

Trump said this during the NATO summit in Brussels, UNIAN reports.

In particular, the US president was asked if he recognizes the annexation of the Crimea, and the peninsula itself as part of Russia.

«That’s an interesting question, because long before I got here, President Obama allowed that to happen. That was on his watch, not on my watch,» – Mr Trump answered.

«The fact is they built bridges to Crimea, they just opened a big bridge that was started years ago. They built, I think, a submarine port, substantially added billions of dollars. Would I have allowed it to happen? No. I would not have allowed it to happen. But he (Obama – ed.) did allow it to happen,» – Trump stressed.

«What will happen with Crimea from this point of view? I can’t tell you. But I’m dissatisfied with the Crimea situation,» – the US president summed up.

As «The Journalist» reported, NATO said that the problem of construction of the North Stream-2 pipeline is beyond competence of the Alliance.
