“Trump's admiration for Putin is frightening... it means that if he is elected, it will give Putin license for even greater aggression against his neighbors. “I’m very afraid of the negative impact that Trump’s election will have,” he said.
Trump's election could lead to “Putin being able to be more aggressive with his neighbors,” he said at YES's 13th annual meeting, “The World, Europe and Ukraine: Storms of Change,” in Kiev.
In his opinion, Donald Trump has the wrong idea about the situation in the world and, in particular, around Ukraine.
“Trump seems to know little more about Crimea than Gary Johnson knows about Aleppo,” he said.
Let us recall that US presidential candidate from the Libertarian Party Gary Johnson “became famous” for his question “What is Aleppo?” in an interview about the problems of Syria on MSNBC.
Barney Frank believes that in the US elections the votes of supporters of “third parties” (small parties not represented in Congress) will be decisive and that Americans should vote for Hillary Clinton.
"Hilary is one of the few world figures with a reputation left," he said.
