According to the president's office, the politicians also discussed cooperation between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as support for Ukraine.
"I thank the US President-elect for his warm words to Lithuania regarding efforts to strengthen our defense. I am glad that Trump is well acquainted with both the security situation in the region and the energy system problems that Ukraine is experiencing before the winter season," he said.
Nausėda said he appreciated the plans of the incoming US administration to seek peace through a show of force, and emphasized the need to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, thereby limiting the ambitions of other authoritarian regimes.
