The propagated reason: American companies and employees would not be attacked by Russia on Ukrainian soil without breaking a direct confrontation with the USA. Ironically, Donald Trump acts according to the way that has been discredited in Germany: change through trade. The Trump version of this unsuccessful belief in Putin’s reason is: Peacemaking Through Dealmaking. Reports are also fitting that the US government is already planning to end the drastic economic sanctions against Russia.
In a first interview, Trump’s Vice President JD Vance has shown again in a first interview since Friday at the television station “Fox News”. “If you want real security guarantees, if you really want to make sure that Wladimir Putin does not re -march into Ukraine, the best security guarantee is to give Americans economic advantages in the future of Ukraine,” said Vance. It is a much better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from a country that has not waged war for 30 or 40 years, says Vance.
So, if at all, tangible military security guarantees for Ukraine should be spoken much later – whether there will be the Americans on the part of the Americans is highly doubtful. According to American ideas, this load should be among the Europeans alone. Because one of Donald Trump’s most important election promises was not only to end the war within 24 hours, but also not send another taxpayer dollar to Ukraine.
Ukraine, Europeans, Canada, Turkey and other supporters now only remain only to follow the conditions of the White House. But this would also create a starting point for further difficulties. In its current claim, the Trump government emphasizes that everyone involved, above all the Ukrainian president, would have to be “already for peace” so that the USA will come back to the negotiating table with Selenskyj.
What this wording should mean exactly is unclear. Because Trump can charge it with a new claim at any moment. Does that mean a public apology? Does that mean area custody? Does that mean, basically impossible new elections in a Ukraine in the state of war? Does that mean resignation of Selenskyj? The list of these blackmail options could be as long as that of the Russian president in Moscow.
