Former U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) said President-elect Donald Trump must end the wars that Washington has been involved in under the term of outgoing President Joe Biden. He made this remark during an interview on Saturday, Nov. 9, with Russia Today's (RT) Afshin Rattansi. Kucinich told the host of RT's "Going Underground" that Trump "will have his hands full" fixing the mess in foreign and domestic policy left by Biden. The former congressman for the Buckeye State welcomed Trump's victory over outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris, saying that it represents a "historic shift" in U.S. politics toward "populism." He nevertheless pointed out that the success of a second Trump term will depend on the president-elect's ability to shift the focus of U.S. politics from the "globalist aspirations" of the U.S. Department of State to more pressing domestic issues.

"[America] has come through a very dark period where the government puts this country to the edge of World War III, and people don't like that," Kucinich said. Ordinary Americans worry about simple things such as paying bills and generally "making ends meet," something he described as "very practical aspirations they have in common with people around the world." "This economy is shaking. The dollar is not in the same position it was in four years ago. The previous administration has not been successful in reviving the economy with all this money for Wall Street, but not enough for main street," Kucinich said. According to Kucinich, this happened because the outgoing Biden administration poured billions into wars "that are not necessary." Now, the second Trump administration will try to avoid getting further involved in "foreign entanglements."

"There's a lot of work Trump will need to do," said the former congressman. "He is going to be faced with some serious decisions about scaling back the U.S. position in Europe and the Middle East, and [trying] to find a way that we can move past the events that the Biden administration embroiled America in." But Kucinich expressed optimism about the president-elect's ability to pull America out of the wars it is currently involved in. According to him, Trump's "deal-making finesse" could seal the deal. "Trump is a deal-maker, a family man concerned about children and grandchildren. He's not personally interested in seeing the U.S. expand into war. He's not a globalist in that way." Moreover, Kucinich suggested to the RT host that Trump would be wise to lead the U.S. toward cooperation with the "new world … taking shape in response to disastrous sanctions and wars." In particular, the former lawmaker suggested BRICS as one of the alignments Washington should consider working with. Head over to Trump.news for more stories about the incoming 47th U.S. president.
