In a recent interview, President-elect Donald Trump indicated that Ukraine should not expect the same levels of military aid from the United States under his administration as it did under President Biden. Trump stated, 'Ukraine probably shouldn't expect the same amount of military aid from me as it did under Biden,' and added that he would 'actively try to stop the war in Ukraine if he could.' This statement suggests a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy regarding support for Ukraine, with Trump acknowledging that his administration may provide 'probably less' military assistance.
