BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Friday that he does not expect the United States to halt military aid to Ukraine after President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20.
Speaking at a press conference in Berlin, Scholz said he had spoken to Trump twice since the election and that there is an "intensive" diplomatic dialogue between the two sides.
"We can therefore hope that good cooperation between Europe and the USA will continue to be successful in the future, including on the issue of support for Ukraine," he said.
"So I don't expect the U.S. to stop supporting Ukraine in its defence."
