Former President Donald Trump has indicated that Ukraine should not expect the same level of military aid from the U.S. under his potential future administration. In an interview with NBC News' 'Meet the Press,' Trump expressed his intention to actively try to end the war in Ukraine if he could, while also suggesting that Ukraine might receive less military support than it did under the Biden administration. This stance was reiterated in multiple reports, where Trump mentioned that Ukraine should prepare for a reduction in aid. He also refused to answer questions regarding any communication with Russian President Vladimir Putin after his election.
