The nomination of Donald Trump as the US presidential candidate from the Republican Party will make it difficult for Congress to agree on a new aid package for Ukraine. This view was expressed in an interview by Richard Bansel, a professor at Cornell University in New York. “Izvestia”.
According to Bancel, Trump becoming the presidential candidate is practically a foregone conclusion, so Republicans will evaluate and make any decisions, including those regarding Ukraine, only in terms of their benefit or harm to Trump in the election race.
Bancel also explained the difference between Biden and Trump on the Ukraine issue. In his opinion, both will not be able to end the conflict quickly, but for different reasons. Trump would be “more willing to discuss Ukraine and compromise with Putin,” but the rest of NATO may not support him. In contrast, Biden is “friendlier with NATO allies” and able to influence them, but has difficulties communicating with Moscow.
March 8 US President Joe Biden statedHe said US withdrawal of support for Ukraine would put Europe and the free world at risk. The American leader said this in his annual State of the Union address to Congress.
