Trump-Watch: „Russland hat noch immer die Oberhand“ – Außenpolitik-Expertin Friedlander erklärt Trumps Ukrainepolitik
Gescheiterte Energie-Waffenruhe und Druck auf Kiew: Die Geschäftsführerin der Atlantikbrücke ordnet die Ukrainepolitik des US-Präsidenten ein – und die Folgen für Europa.
On October 11th, US President Donald Trump unilaterally declared an energy arms embargo between Russia and Ukraine. Neither nation adhered to the agreement. Earlier, he lifted U.S. diesel sanctions on Russia to lower prices at home. Julia Friedlander, the managing director of the Atlantic Bridge, discussed Trump's Ukraine policy with the hosts of the show.
Friedlander admired the "creativity of politics," but not its execution. She believed Trump's mediation policy favored Putin, believing the government assumed Russia would always be the stronger party. The strategy, therefore, was to "find a solution on the side of the stronger party." Ultimately, Trump's policy signaled that the United States was losing global power.
