European leaders blindsided by Donald Trump’s call with Vladimir Putin insisted they shouldn’t be sidelined after the US president said he’d agreed to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine with his Russian counterpart.
In talking to Putin, Trump swept aside long-standing US policy that nothing should be decided about Ukraine without Kyiv at the table, while cutting out allies with an existential stake in the resolution of a conflict raging on their borders. Many European NATO partners now fear the more conciliatory American stance amounts to a giveaway to the Russian leader.
Wendy Schiller, professor of political science at Brown University, discusses Trump’s strategy and possible motives when it comes to ending the nearly three-year old conflict. Professor Schiller speaks with Tom Keene and Damian Sassower on Bloomberg Radio.
