‘Trump failure’

It is difficult to interpret the outcome of the Putin-Trump phone conversation as something other than Donald Trump’s failure, Sky News correspondent James Matthews said.

‘How can this be presented by Donald Trump as something else Except for a US president who has failed? Who has failed in the negotiations, diplomacy and management of this conflict? “ He wonders.

“Vladimir Putin, if he has not deceived Donald Trump and has not humiliated him so far, then the” reading “that the Russians give us reinforces the idea that it has control of events to a large extent.”

The Trump government was sending a message “America first” before the phone conversation, with Jay Di Vance saying the US was ready to leave.

Putin would have heard this and believe that if he insisted on his attitude, the Americans would leave, leaving Ukraine exposed to further advance on the battlefield.

‘Ukraine [και] The allies European leaders were worried that they had been sold by Donald Trump. They were prepared to wait to implement the solution he has promised for a long time because they need the United States. “

“Now they are looking at this critical decision that has not led them further and sets Ukraine at even greater risk. “

Russia simply seems to be sitting in the way and delaying this process, without taking any step forward as progress, but simply bypassing, the American correspondent stresses.

“Donald Trump has in fact not shown any whip, and he remained a carrot for Moscow.”
