The US president is often inconsistent, Lithuanian Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas commented on Donald Trump’s stated plans towards the Palestinians.
“There’s no need to rush into commenting on the US president’s statements. I mean, he said something and let’s wait and see, let’s wait a week, two weeks,” Paluckas told reporters at the parliament on Thursday when asked about Donald Trump’s statements on pushing Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip.
“I understand that everybody is terribly anxious, but as we have seen many times, he says one thing one day, and the next day, look, the situation is already different. And I suggest that we should wait a little longer and see how it can be implemented,” he said.
According to the prime minister, Trump’s statement is indeed “quite dramatic”.
“But I doubt very much that it is possible to take a society of 1.7 million, the size of Estonia, and move it to an undefined geographical location,” Paluckas said.
During a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week, Trump suggested that the United States take control of the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, Trump also hinted that the United States should take over Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, and also take over control of the Panama Canal from Panama.
