It’s morning in Russia: why Trump’s embrace of Putin means long-term unease in China
Donald Trump's recent actions, including voting with Russia against Ukraine at the UN, are being seen as a major win for Vladimir Putin and a significant shift in US foreign policy. This move, following attempts to initiate direct peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia, marks a growing divergence between the US and its European allies regarding the ongoing conflict.
Trump's history of controversial interactions with Putin, including the 2018 Helsinki summit and his 2021 comments after meeting with Biden, have long fueled concerns about his stance on Russia. The recent UN vote, coinciding with the third anniversary of the Ukraine war, underscores a potential realignment of global alliances, a long-sought goal for Moscow, further straining transatlantic relations.
