President Donald Trump has once again revealed where his loyalties lie - and it is not with America’s allies, (“ Report: Trump peace plan would cede Ukraine territory to Russia, prevent NATO expansion, ” Nov. 20). By threatening to cut off American intelligence and weapons unless Ukraine accepts Trump’s so-called peace plan – a plan which leaves NATO, Europe and Ukraine out of the negotiations - Trump is coercing a democratic nation into surrender.
Trump’s demands - that Ukraine cede territory, shrink its military and renounce NATO - mirror Russian President Vladimir Putin’s wish list, while requiring little from Russia.
This is not diplomacy. It is appeasement. It is betrayal. And it rewards a regime that murders civilians, silences dissent and seeks to erase Ukraine’s identity.
