Ukraine Has Given Up On Trump's America
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
After a painful year and a quarter of flattering and pleading with Trump to stay the right side of the Ukraine war, the president's obvious predisposition for Putin's Russia, and his constant insulting and erratic behaviour, has finally led to the inevitable. Ukraine has had enough. In the last few days, President Zelensky has been speaking plainly and critically about the Trump administration in ways he would not have dared to do before. In this, he joins Canada's Mark Carney and growing numbers of European leaders who will no longer filter all public discussion through the lens of one man in the White House. Let's discuss.
