Former US President Donald Trump, known for his controversial stance on many international issues, expresses support for military aid to Ukraine in private conversations. This was stated by Republican Senator Joni Ernst, who talked about Trump’s position and his possible actions if he returns to office.
Quiet Support for Ukraine
Joni Ernst reported that Trump understands the importance of military aid to Ukraine but does not express it publicly. “He is quite silent on this issue, and only admits in private conversations that it is the right decision,” the senator noted. This raises questions as to why Trump chooses to remain silent on such an important issue in public.
Calls to Europe and Criticism of Biden
Senator Ernst called on European countries to provide more humanitarian aid to Ukraine and stated that the US has the ability to produce more ammunition for support. However, she criticized President Joe Biden for his restrictions on the use of this ammunition. “Biden should allow the use of these ammunitions for strikes inside Russia. Otherwise, Ukraine won’t win this war,” Ernst emphasized. She believes that the current president is hindering Ukraine from defeating Russia and urged him to be more active.
Trump and the Possibility of Strikes on Russia
In Joni Ernst’s opinion, if Donald Trump were to return to the presidency, he would allow Ukraine to use American weapons for strikes on targets within Russian territory. She also noted that the US will continue to support Ukraine if Republicans gain control of the Senate. This could indicate a change in approach to the war in Ukraine in case of political changes in the US.
Looking towards the Future
Statements by Senator Joni Ernst underline the potential change in US policy towards Ukraine depending on the results of future elections. Whether Trump, if he returns to power, will allow Ukraine to strike back against Russia, remains to be seen. But even now, his quiet support could have a significant impact on political sentiments both in the US and internationally.
