- US President Donald Trump has started to speak more harshly about dictator Putin. There are even hints of certain “surprises”.
- Former SBU employee Ivan Stupak commented on Trump's recent statements.
US President Donald Trump has become increasingly harsh in his statements against dictator Putin. There is hope that these statements will be followed by concrete actions.
Former SBU employee Ivan Stupak told Channel 24 about this, commenting on Trump's statements about Putin. According to him, everyone was counting on tough actions from the US president against the Russian dictator. At first, Trump spoke very cautiously about Putin.
Will Trump's Russia Policy Change?
As Stupak noted, Trump talked a lot about “two weeks” for Putin, but Russian missiles and drones were still flying into Ukraine. There is hope that now he will finally start to act tougher towards Russia. Putin has shown no signs of wanting to end the war.
Despite this, it is too early to predict anything about Trump's actions against Russia. There have already been multiple situations when he allegedly spoke out more harshly against Putin. And then nothing happened. But now there have been harsh signals for Putin.
I want to believe that Trump's rhetoric has really changed. Today I saw a message from Trump's spiritual mentor Mark Burns. I assume that he put a lot of effort into making Trump come out with a more or less normal speech. I want to believe that this is how it will be, Stupak said.
Let's add that Trump said that Putin is talking a lot of nonsense. He is unhappy with the Russian dictator. Trump also did not say what he would do next to influence Putin. There may be surprises here.
