President-elect Donald Trump has outlined his approach to ending the Russia-Ukraine war, emphasizing the use of U.S. support for Ukraine as leverage against Russia in negotiations. In an interview with Time Magazine, Trump stated that he would not abandon Ukraine but would instead use military and financial aid as a bargaining tool to bring both parties to the negotiating table. Trump expressed his intent to reach a peace agreement, stating, "I want to reach an agreement," and emphasizing that "the only way you’re going to reach an agreement is not to abandon." The strategy aligns with his campaign promise to end the war swiftly and reflects his broader foreign policy approach. Trump’s statements have sparked discussions about the feasibility and implications of such a strategy, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict and its geopolitical ramifications.
