Your guide to what Trump’s second term for Washington, Business and World

Donald Trump ultimatum Kiev to make a peace transaction, which includes Russia’s sovereignty in Crimea, makes fun of Washington’s supposed talks against Ukraine. Trump’s election campaign boasted that he could make a peace deal in 24 hours. So it has incompetence and cynicism of its management, as it climbs the settlement at any cost.

Now Trump and his officials threatening to walk away Negotiations, as long as Ukraine swends without its written conditions. Trump Comment Wednesday when he thought he had a deal with Vladimir Putin but now needed to get one WITH VOLODIMIR ZELENSKI. This has never been properly trilateral negotiations.

Trump says Zelenskyy has no pitch. In fact, Trump has removed cards from Ukraine and handing them to Russia. US officials have leveraged through amateur or naivability before we start negotiations. They ruled out the prospects of NATO membership in Ukraine or the prospect of restoring the occupied territory. Trump Nefit’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has been tempted by the Kremlin and swallowed his conversation points about the causes of war.

Moscow pulled her legs on negotiations, and in six weeks the unconditional ceasefire was resettled, but Washington did not put pressure. Trump described Russia’s deadly missile attack on Thursday because “it is not necessary and A very bad schedule“It is closest that he has come to condemn Moscow’s actions. Ukraine, in contrast, is subject to threats and coercion, including cessation of weapons deliveries and Exchange of intelligenceA number has also been false accused for Starting the warA number US shamelessly forced it to sign it An agreement of mineral outlines as repayment of previous help.

Rather negotiate fair peace for Ukraine and push Russia to sign it, Trump has done the opposite. It can always be his intention, or because he thinks that Russia’s lies or because it can equate the right worldview with Putin. Whatever, the trump card will affect the treatment of Ukraine All over the worldA number

The United States recognizes Russia’s sovereignty against Crimea, and since 1945, the first violent annex of the area in Europe has not only encouraged Putin in Ukraine and former Soviet states, will violate it elsewhere. China will pay attention to Taiwan’s eyes.

The concession of Trump’s Crimean is especially excellent, as official recognition was not a precondition for Russia for the transaction. Agreeing on what the red line for Ki is threatening to explode negotiations. So far, everything suggests that Trump will become Ukraine, stop help and smash sanctions, Europe throws riots. Moscow will announce the winner.

Some will argue that Ukraine must bow to reality and agree to overcome Crimea. It is not given to recognize Russia’s sovereignty, and it cannot do it without air protection and intelligence. But this help no longer assures. In general, Europe must accelerate the efforts to replace those opportunities. Ukraine justly worries that false peace will allow Putin to return to work.

“You were given a choice between war and disgrace. You have chosen an insult and you will have a war. ” Historians dispute whether Winston Churchill told Nevil Chlechil, the Munich agreement with Nazi Germany. But Trump’s political epithe is at risk, as long as Kiev and its European allies can somehow convince him to change the course.
