Former ambassador warns Trump is 'courting Putin' which will likely have 'terrible implications for US security interests' - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

Michael McFaul, former US ambassador to Russia, criticized President Donald Trump's dealings with Vladimir Putin, stating that it undermines peace efforts in Ukraine. He emphasized that Trump's tendency to appease Russia carries dire consequences for global security, extending beyond Europe's borders. McFaul invoked the historical actions of protestors against the Vietnam War to urge Americans to oppose Trump's alliance with autocratic regimes, reinforcing the notion that public sentiment can influence US foreign policy.

"Trying to appease Putin and abandon our democratic partners in Ukraine will have terrible implications for American security interests not just in Europe, but also worldwide."

"The president has a lot of authority over foreign policy, but we are not a monarchy... It is time for Americans to stand up again and say no to Trump's embrace of autocratic Russia."
