Former US President Donald Trump recently discussed European leadership, support for Ukraine, and immigration policy during an interview with Politico.
Trump stated that European nations have not effectively managed immigration and have not taken decisive action to resolve the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He indicated that European countries were allowing Ukraine to continue fighting without a clear resolution.
He further expressed the view that Russia holds an advantage in the conflict and suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should engage in negotiations that could involve ceding territory to Moscow. Trump also indicated that the United States might reduce its level of support for Ukraine.
In response to these comments, Downing Street in the United Kingdom addressed Trump's assertions regarding European inaction. The UK government highlighted its role in leading international sanctions and reaffirmed its commitment to the ongoing US-led peace process.
