Jennifer Griffin criticized the Trump administration's negotiations with Russia regarding Ukraine, suggesting that Vladimir Putin is amused by the approach. She highlighted concerns over the instability within the Pentagon, particularly the absence of a confirmed NSA director, which hampers the U.S.'s negotiating strength. Griffin's comments come amid scrutiny of Trump's conciliatory stance towards Putin, and the President has been blamed for the ongoing conflict due to his criticism of Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Meanwhile, the instability at the Pentagon is not helping project strength during these delicate negotiations. There is still no confirmed NSA director after Defense Secretary Hegseth fired Gen Hauck and his deputy for no reason, not even a nominee yet.
Trump and Witkoff have both faced scrutiny from voices across the political spectrum over their conciliatory rhetoric about Putin. The president has repeatedly blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the outbreak of the war.
