Trump is gathering his new team, and none are pro-Ukrainian.

US President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate Florida Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. The senator has recently supported Trump’s narratives on international issues, particularly concerning the stalemate in Russia’s war against Ukraine. In April, he was one of the senators who voted against allocating $60B in aid to Ukraine. Recently, he spoke about the fact that Ukraine needs to focus on reaching an agreement with the Russian Federation without the mandatory return of all occupied territories.

“I’m not a supporter of Russia, but unfortunately, the reality is that the war in Ukraine will end as a result of a peace agreement,” Rubio said in a recent interview with NBC.

Trump also plans to appoint Florida congressman Mike Waltz, his staunch ally and critic of Biden, as national security adviser. Waltz is also skeptical of US military support for Ukraine.

The deputy head of the administration for political affairs will probably be his chief adviser on immigration issues, Stephen Miller.
