In addition to the French President Emmanuel Macron, Trump even repeated his new knowledge: He thinks that Ukraine could regain all areas lost to Russia.
The diplomats are now puzzling in New York what Trump has brought to this view. At least rhetorically it sounds like a U -turn. The US President tightens his tone towards Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. But will the United States also follow new words against Russia under Trump? The way there should definitely be linked to conditions.
How little surely the long-term success of Ukraine is despite Trump’s optimistic words was already evident in New York in his speech before the UN General Assembly, especially with a topic: sanctions. According to the story of the American President, tariffs are not only an ingenious economic means for his own country, but also a kind of peace weapon for war in Ukraine. Trump has been focusing on so -called secondary sanctions against China and India for weeks because these countries would continue to financed Putin’s war through their energy imports from Russia.
Trump sharply attacked the European NATO allies in his speech. “They won’t like that now,” he said. But he wanted to say what he thinks. Trump could only be forced with punitive tariffs against China and India and with import stops for Russian oil and natural gas. The American’s demands were not new, but he gave them new weight in front of the UN audience.
Trump flared Europe to first buy Russian energy sources. Trump, because his country is still a large -scale buyer of Russian energy sources, that his close confidant, Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, would have to feel addressed because his country is still a large -scale.
Second, the allied partners should finally support the hard tariffs, i.e. the secondary actions against China and India, said Trump. At the same time, the US President must be clear that, among other things, because of the constantly impending trade war with the United States, it will hardly be possible to impose high tariffs against India and China.
