US President Donald Trump attributed the country to victory in two world wars, as well as ridding the world of fascism and communism. He expressed this opinion during a speech to supporters in Wisconsin, RIA Novosti reports.
He also said that the American authorities rely on the heroes of the country, who “defeated fascism and communism and turned America into the single greatest country in the history of the world.”
In June, Trump argued that the US Armed Forces opposed both fascism and communism. The leader of the country in two speeches did not mention the role of the USSR in the defeat of Nazism.
Moreover, on May 8, the White House released a video of Trump laying a wreath at the World War II Memorial in Washington, accompanied by the text: “On May 8, 1945, the United States and Britain defeated Nazism. The American spirit will always win. ” The Russian Foreign Ministry, in a commentary to the publication, expressed indignation at the US attempts to reduce the role of the USSR in the victory over Gemania.
