Trump's election raises uncertainty over U.S. support for Ukraine
Donald Trump’s election as president raises questions about U.S. support for Ukraine. Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, oppose continued military and financial aid, advocating for a negotiated peace that may involve territorial concessions to Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Trump and expressed hope for cooperation. However, he faces challenges with a Republican-controlled Congress, especially after his previous criticisms of Trump and Vance, which angered GOP lawmakers. The U.S. has been a key supporter of Ukraine, providing significant military aid. Trump and Vance argue that funds should be redirected to domestic issues, complicating future U.S. assistance to Ukraine amid ongoing Russian aggression.
