Donald Trump has imposed additional global tariffs and announced an upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin to discuss Russia's war in Ukraine. The Biden administration's policy of including Ukraine in its negotiations has reportedly been abandoned. This shift complicates the situation for Ukraine, as they face losses in sovereignty both due to the ongoing war and the pressure from the U.S. administration. The commentary suggests the implications of these changes are significant for the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations.
"The Biden-era mantra of 'Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine' is now ancient history under the Trump administration. You cannot negotiate the future of Ukraine without Ukraine at the table, that's out of the question."
"It puts the Ukrainians in a very difficult position because they basically have lost, first, their sovereignty to the war, and then again to the Trump administration essentially twisting their arm."
