Trump Team shakes Europe with Ukraine shift and NATO demands
President Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin directly as his Defense Secretary said NATO membership for Ukraine was unrealistic.
Summary
The Trump’s administration is reshaping U.S. policy on Ukraine and NATO.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ruled out Ukraine’s NATO membership and full territorial restoration, while JD Vance suggested possible U.S. military action against Russia.
Trump held his first call with Vladimir Putin and proposed ceasefire talks. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sought a deal for U.S. access to Ukraine’s natural resources.
Trump also demanded NATO allies increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, raising tensions with European leaders.
They probably sent Vance so when this failed Trump wouldn’t look as bad.
Trump sent Vance because he’s a lazy fuck who didn’t want to bother with it himself.
The felon is too weak and demented to do anything else than sign documents.
He is a weak figurehead for the billionaires and it's his handlers that decide his agenda.
The longer we get into his term the more clear it will be that gramps should be in a nursing home.
