Trump Schemes with Putin to Carve up Ukraine. European Allies Stunned

Trump Surrogates Alarm NATO and EU Allies with Unabashed Abandonment of Ukraine

The Trump administration took its tear-it-all-down troupe on a European tour over the weekend, making it clear that the United States can no longer be counted on to defend Western democracy or thwart Russia’s quest to conquer neighboring Ukraine.

From a speech by Vice President J.D. Vance scolding NATO allies for a litany of imagined political sins, to the White House special envoy to Ukraine saying European allies will have no seat at the table for negotiations to end Russia’s war, the White House delegation to the Munich Security Conference left U.S. allies shaken and angry.

The newly assembled U.S. security and foreign policy team spent the weekend effectively endorsing Trump’s assurances to Russian President Vladimir Putin that his unprovoked war against a sovereign neighbor will end with the Kremlin achieving its main objectives of retaining occupied territory and keeping Ukraine out of NATO.
