Donald Trump's first press conference, ten days after taking office in the White House, did not disappoint. The focus is all on the Russia issue, from relations with Putin to the hacker case, which according to US intelligence has even influenced the electoral campaign, favoring Trump's election. The new president admitted the story: "I think Russia is behind the hacking of the American presidential campaign", he said, after reporting to the Senate he had stated that "there have been recent Russian activities against our interests, but it is blamed on lack of strong American leadership.”
"I have nothing to do with Russia – however Trump had previously clarified via Twitter -: no deal, no loan, no nothing". And again: "Russia has never tried to put pressure on me." Trump went so far as to say that "if anything, the hacking favored my opponent Hillary Clinton". The president therefore repeated in the conference that he has nothing to fear from Putin, explaining however that Russia “can be a good ally to defeat Isis. Does Putin like me? It's a good thing. I don't know what relations I will have with Putin, but I hope they are positive. It is important to have good relations with Russia because he could help us defeat Isis after the current administration created it by leaving Iraq and leaving a vacuum ”.
"I can't wait to be sworn in as president," Trump said, touching on the topic of jobs, which he "miraculously created even before taking office." In this regard, the new president of the United States once again thanked FCA and Ford for the investments in the US, adding: "There is a very positive atmosphere, I will become the greatest job creator that God has sent to earth" .
Trump finally specified that he will resign from his corporate positions, that his sons Donald Jr and Eric will manage the business and that he will not be involved: "I could manage my business as president, but I don't want to". Trump called Obamacare a “complete and utter disaster”, promising that it will be repealed, and also reiterating his intention to build the famous wall between the US and Mexico: “We will build the wall. Mexico will reimburse us. In some form, but it will happen”
