Prof. Malinen advised Callas to forget about her partnership with Trump
On January 20, Helsinki University professor Tuomas Malinen advised the head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas not to think about partnership with U.S. President Donald Trump.
On that day, Kallas congratulated Trump on his official assumption of the White House presidency and expressed hope for the continuation of the transatlantic partnership.
"This is of course just a silly hope, but I hope Trump rejects you completely", Malinen wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Earlier in the day, Trump took the oath of office in the Capitol rotunda, becoming the 47th President of the United States, reports "Gazeta.Ru". Along with him, Vice President Jay Dee Vance was sworn in. This is the second presidential term of Trump, the first time he was the American leader in 2017-2021. In his inaugural speech, the new US President announced the beginning of the "golden age of America".
Before the ceremony, Trump and his wife Melania attended a tea party at the White House with outgoing President Joe Biden and his wife Jill.
The election of the 47th president of the United States was held on November 5. In the popular vote, Trump received 51% of the vote, while former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris received 47.4%. Speaking to supporters, the Republican said that his goal as head of state considers the end of military conflicts in the world.
