Trump: I am the morally upright person in international politics!
The US president said he doesn't like to see people suffering.
TASS, January 14th report.
The US President Donald Trump confirmed that for him, the most important factor limiting his actions on the international stage is his own moral standards.
He stated this during an interview with CBS, which was broadcast on January 13th.
"I'm talking about morality, I am a person of high moral standards. I don't like to see death, I don't like to see our people suffer. I also don't like to see people on the other side suffer."
He said this when answering the question about what factors limit his decision-making on the international stage.
"When we entered Venezuela, we didn't suffer losses, but many people on the other side died. I don't like that," Trump continued: "Therefore, yes, [decisions] are constrained by morality, and my moral standards are very high, that's it."
Emphasized the White House owner.
When asked whether the US Constitution and courts limited his power as commander-in-chief, Trump said "it goes without saying".
Previously, in an interview with The New York Times, Trump claimed his power was only restricted by "personal morality" and denied the importance of international law and other mechanisms when using military force.
