Telephone communication between him and does not seem to have produced tangible results, at least not for the United States. According to the outcome of the conversation, it is difficult to interpret anything other than a diplomatic failure for Donald Trump.
“How can this be presented differently? We have an American president who failed: in negotiation, diplomatic management and the political leadership of an international war, “he commented.
Matthew notes that even though Vladimir Putin has not so far played or humiliated Trump, the official Russian announcement after telephone communication reinforces the picture that.
Shortly before communication, the Trump government had said -through statements by Senator J. Di. Vance- that the US was ready to leave the case, in a rhetoric “first in America”. According to Matthews, this message may have reinforced Putin’s assessment that, if it simply adheres to waiting, the Americans will withdraw, leaving Ukraine helpless against further Russian aggression in the field.
‘No real step forward’
Concerns that Donald Trump may leave Ukraine seem to be intensifying in the European capitals. “Ukraine and European allies have shown patience, hoping to implement a solution that Trump has long promised. The need for American support is decisive, “the analyst says.
However, after their conversation the reality seems ominous. “They are now confronted with the results of a critical communication that has not made them at all and may have put Ukraine at an even greater risk.”
Concluding his analysis, Matthew notes: “Russia seems to choose the delay and not progress. There is no indication of real step forward, just a tactic of evasion. Donald Trump, for the whole rhetoric on “hard line”, has not imposed any pressure on Moscow. On the contrary, his attitude looks more like incentives than pressure. “
