Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov recently noted that while Donald Trump's statement on the Ukraine conflict aligns with Russia's position, it's too early to draw conclusions on how the US president-elect will approach the issue once in office. Why is there skepticism in Moscow about Trump’s statements? To understand this, let's look at some key promises he made during his previous election campaign and how - or if - they were fulfilled.Border Wall Promise: To build a wall on the US-Mexico border to address migrant flows and force Mexico to reimburse the cost. Outcome: Partly delivered. Under Trump’s administration, 453 miles of border barriers were built, but only 47 miles were in areas where no previous barriers existed.Economy• Promise: To stimulate the US economy by 4% annually. Outcome: Partly delivered. In 2018, GDP growth was 2.9%, below the target.• Promise: To reduce national debt.Outcome: Not delivered.• Promise: To revitalize industry. Outcome: Partly delivered. Congress allocated $21 billion for infrastructure spending, far below the $1.5 trillion Trump initially called for.• Promise: To impose import tariffs.Outcome: Delivered.MigrationPromise: To deport all illegal migrants from the US.
