This has been compounded by the hardline isolationist stance of his vice presidential nominee, JD Vance, who played a leading role in blocking Washington aid to While Joe Biden and Starmer have insisted it is only Ukraine that gets to decide how the conflict ends, they have also resisted Zelensky’s appeals to use western-supplied Storm Shadow missiles on targets inside Russia.
He added: “A more likely and far more logical and reasonable explanation is that Trump has very little time for Ukraine. He has a real affinity for dictators, particularly when he thinks he can do business in a transactional way. He sees Putin and others as equals, he does not see Zelensky as an equal.
It may not be in Trump’s actual gift to force Ukraine to surrender land to Russia, but pulling moral, military and financial support would force Europe to dig deeper into its pockets to keep Kyiv from losing the war. Savill said: “Whoever is president will not have a completely free hand. They still have to get through Congress.”
He is a European affairs specialist and a staunch supporter of Ukraine, and in July said the US people’s support for that country was “enduring”. But if Trump pursues a very different policy on Ukraine to the UK, it is difficult to see how long this confidence lasts. “The last time he was in the White House he actually did good for that part of the world, he increased troop numbers in the Baltics.”While Trump is expected to pull the US back from support for Ukraine, experts believe he will give Benjamin Netanyahu a much freer hand to do what he wants in the Middle East.
If Trump is in the White House from January, all the signs are that the US’s restraining hand would be lifted. The analyst said: “The general thinking is at some point they would target Iran’s nuclear programme directly, the big question is will they do it alone or will they have the international community’s support?
“There are things that need to happen before we can get to a ceasefire . Biden could also do this, but Trump is even more committed to that scenario.” “But when it comes to Trump, where Israel’s enemies are frightened of him as well, that definitely works in Israel’s favour.”However, the power Trump has to instil fear in adversaries – which is rooted in his unpredictability – only works to a certain extent.
