Impact of Trump's Return on European Security
The recent victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. elections raises concerns about the future of European security, particularly regarding support for Ukraine. There's speculation that Trump may push for a land-for-peace deal, potentially forcing Ukraine to concede territories. This shift in approach could have long-lasting negative implications for not only Ukraine but also for the stability of Europe. Observers note that Ukraine’s President Zelensky may have grown weary of the inconsistent support from Biden's administration and might view Trump’s return as a chance for more decisive action, despite its uncertainties.
