Former US President Donald Trump may cancel arms supplies to Ukraine on the first day after his possible return to the post of head of state.
Josh Rogin, a columnist for the American edition of The Washington Post, writes about this.
What will happen with US help to Ukraine if Trump is re-elected?
The article states that Trump could cancel all arms sales to Ukraine on the first day of his second presidential term.
According to the publication’s observer, in this regard, the United States needs to speed up arms supplies to Ukraine and place as many weapons as possible in Eastern Europe.
It will be more difficult to force Ukraine or NATO allies to send back weapons, – said in the publication.
Rogin also believes that if Trump is re-elected, it will be difficult for the West to reach consensus on Ukraine’s accession to NATO.
If Trump returns, NATO consensus on moving forward with Kyiv’s bid will be unlikely. – writes the columnist.
In his opinion, the administration of US President Joseph Biden should develop a long-term plan to support Ukraine, similar to the ten-year plan to assist Israel developed by Barack Obama.
As Rogin explained, even if Biden manages to be re-elected, Trump supporters in Congress will continue to try to cut aid to Ukraine.
The publication’s columnist added that Democratic and Republican leaders should more actively convince voters of the need to support Ukraine, and the team of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky needs to expand work with the United States outside of Washington.
No long-term effort to help Ukraine will be sustainable without continued American support. summarized the author of the article.
