Trump understands what bets can be made with Putin - Media.


President Trump threatens Putin with new tariffs and sanctions against Russia if it does not stop the war. This is a positive signal for Ukraine's allies, who believe that Trump will not abandon them in negotiations with Putin. There are signs of optimism, such as the appointment of security adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who are considered hawks regarding Russia. Trump also demands to increase defense spending for NATO to 5% of GDP. Pro-Ukrainian Republicans have a positive attitude towards Ukraine. They note that Trump abandoned the deal with North Korea and may do the same regarding Ukraine. Additionally, Trump has no baggage from Russiagate related to Russia's interference in the elections. All this creates optimism about negotiations with Putin and Ukraine's future.
