Ex-president Donald Trump said that the end of the war would mean the end of the “endless flow of American money to Ukraine.” In addition, European allies must reimburse the US for the weapons provided to Ukraine.
As the AP writes, it is currently unclear how Trump plans to end the war and whether he will demand the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine’s territory. Numerous investigations are ongoing against Trump, “but the election is less than a year away, and according to the latest polls, Trump is leading the race”.
As well, the FT writes that economic problems are hindering Joe Biden’s re-election, he does not pass the Reagan test – only 14% of Americans believe that they are in a better financial situation now than before his presidency.
The US presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024, and the inauguration for January 20, 2025.
