Trump-Watch: "Russia still has the upper hand" - foreign policy expert Friedlander explains Trump's Ukraine policy
Failed energy weapons truce and pressure on Kiev: The managing director of the Atlantikbrücke classifies the Ukraine policy of the US President – and the consequences for Europe.
US President Donald Trump announced a energy weapons truce between Russia and Ukraine on October 11, but neither country adhered to it. Trump had previously suspended US diesel sanctions against Russia to lower domestic fuel prices. The Atlantic Bridge's managing director, Julia Friedlander, discussed Trump's Ukraine policy, praising its creativity but criticizing its implementation.
Friedlander believes Trump's mediation policy often favors Putin and reflects the US government's assumption that Russia is the stronger party. This approach indicates the US is losing global power.
