OREANDA-NEWS. The position of the head of the White House may be related both to protests within the United States and to the sharp reaction of the world community.

US President Donald Trump, not becoming in his speech to announce military steps against Iran, seeks to return the situation to the political plane and avoid escalation. This opinion was expressed to journalists on Wednesday by the head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky.

“One good news in President Trump’s appeal is that there will be no war. Trump was forced to “roll back”, if you will, returning the situation to the political plane. And this is the main positive moment for today”, the deputy said. In his opinion, the position of the American leader "may be related both to protests within the United States", including from his political opponents, "and to the sharp reaction of the world community".
