Former President Donald Trump has declined the offer by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to visit his embattled country, saying that this would create a “conflict of interest” ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
“I have great respect for President Zelenskyy, but think it would be inappropriate to go to Ukraine at this time,” the Republican presidential frontrunner wrote in a statement to Newsmax. “The Biden administration is currently dealing with him, and I would not want to create a conflict of interest.”
