Politico: Kyiv Got Good News From Trump

The US President has filled his Cabinet with prominent “hawks”.

US President Donald Trump has created an unexpected case for which Europe is cautiously optimistic: Ukraine. Trump’s threat to Russia and Putin to impose new tariffs and sanctions if they fail to reach an agreement to end the conflict has sent a welcome signal to European allies and other supporters of Ukraine, Politico writes.

They see it as evidence that he understands the importance of the standoff as much as they do and will not abandon Ukraine or NATO allies in his upcoming dealings with Putin.

“The President Trump that I served alongside wants nothing to do with the perception of weakness. Nothing,” former Vice President Mike Pence told a small group of reporters on Friday. Pence didn’t say how recently he had spoken with Trump.

“If Putin thinks that he can roll the president into a position where President Trump would look like he got rolled by Russia, he’s got another thing coming,” he added.

There are other early signs that have given Ukrainians and European allies glimmers of optimism: Trump stacked his Cabinet with prominent Russia hawks such as national security adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

He’s launched a new push to boost NATO’s defense spending benchmarks to 5 percent of GDP, and some of Trump’s Republican allies on Capitol Hill remain staunchly pro-Ukraine.
