Fox News writes that President Trump’s once-hardline stance on Ukraine has softened somewhat in recent weeks, as reflected in delays in military aid, troop withdrawals, and a softening of rhetoric toward Russia. This shift has allies questioning his ultimate goal, the newspaper writes.
President Trump’s tone toward Ukraine has softened sharply in recent weeks, from harsh rhetoric about pressuring Russian President Vladimir Putin last month to not intervening.
The newspaper notes that after showing strong support for Ukraine and promising to end the Russian invasion, Trump now seems much less eager to help Kyiv or force an end to the war.
The turn, according to Fox News analysts, was tempered two weeks ago when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Washington. Many expected Trump to approve the supply of Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine, but this did not happen.
