Trump hints at what would happen if Crimea was taken on his watch

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that if Crimea had been occupied during his Presidency, it would have been on the front pages of every newspaper for another 20 years. He also compared the Ukrainian peninsula to the state of Texas.

What did Trump say about Crimea?

During the interview, the President of the United States stated that no one is saying that former White House chief Barack Obama gave up Ukrainian land.

"If I gave up that land, I would be on the front page of every paper for the next 20 years. When Obama gave them up, they didn't even talk about it," Trump stated.

In addition, according to the head of the White House, Crimea is close in size to Texas.

"It's beautiful. This huge piece of land that extends right into the ocean, right into the Black Sea, is so beautiful. I mean, it's so beautiful," Trump said.

It should be noted that the area of Crimea is approximately 27,000 square kilometers, and the state of Texas is over 695,000 square kilometers. Thus, the American state is almost 26 times larger than the Ukrainian peninsula, and in terms of total area, it is larger than all of Ukraine.
