Susan Glasser from The New Yorker highlighted that President Trump's confrontation with Ukrainian President Zelensky was highly beneficial for Russia. During a discussion concerning U.S. support for Ukraine, tension escalated into a shouting match with Vice President JD Vance intervening. Glasser argued that the exchange demonstrated an unsettling shift in U.S. foreign policy, portraying Ukraine’s ally as an adversary instead. Trump’s comments, including expressing trust in Putin, raised alarms about amplifying Russian narratives and caused shock among Ukrainian supporters observing this diplomatic debacle.
In many ways, it seemed as though, you know, Vladimir Putin's work was being done for him. The shock and horror of Ukraine is palpable.
Trump and Vance amplified Russian lies about the invasion, which indicated a significant shift in America’s foreign policy towards Ukraine.
