Former President Donald Trump has initiated a diplomatic push for ending the war in Ukraine, engaging in phone calls and expressing admiration for Vladimir Putin's desire for peace. This move, which signals a potential shift in US policy, has raised concerns among Ukraine's allies and sparked debate about the implications for Ukraine's sovereignty.
As with many elements of Donald Trump ’s presidency, we knew this was coming – but it still shocks the system when it comes.
Trump claimed: “President Putin wants that peace now, and he didn’t want to have that peace with Biden.”And at the same time as Trump was speaking to Putin, US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth was at NATO headquarters in Brussels making the administration’s views crystal clear. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump was asked whether the administration had snookered itself by making those emphatic statements in Brussels before talks had started. The president was characteristically dismissive: he seemed to sign up to what Hegseth had laid out but left the door open to anything.
