Donald Trump's latest comments on Russia and Ukraine have caused concern in Europe.
Over the course of his short but eventful political career, Donald Trump has shown a predisposition to be sympathetic to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
His comments at a CNN-hosted town hall event this week provided further evidence to those who accuse him of being too cosy with Mr Putin. While the US Congress has approved billions of dollars in support for Ukraine to be distributed over an extended timeframe, as president, Mr Trump could use his executive power to slow down or even stop that support.Some of his Republican colleagues were quick to condemn his remarks, but it is possible - or even probable - that if Trump were elected, US backing for the war effort could end entirely.
If Mr Trump cuts off the supply of weapons, the war will end on Russian terms, which is the West's worst nightmare, the former head of Britain's secret service, Sir Alex Younger, told the BBC.Media caption,American public support for helping Ukraine has dropped since the start of the war andthis week showed an increase in the number of Americans who believe the US should focus more on problems at home.
