Liz Cheney criticizes Trump for loyalty to Putin and departure from Reagan values

Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney criticized Donald Trump on Wednesday, stating he contradicts the values of Ronald Reagan. She accused him of being devoted to Putin and abandoning Ukraine, calling him the "antithesis" of Reagan's principles. Since taking office, Trump has engaged directly with Putin regarding the Ukraine conflict and has expressed intentions to meet him. Recent discussions between the U.S. and Russia occurred without Ukrainian representatives, raising concerns about Ukraine's sidelining. Trump has not responded to Cheney's remarks. He previously suggested she should face severe consequences for her role in the January 6 investigation. National security adviser Mike Waltz defended Trump's diplomatic efforts, emphasizing a focus on peace negotiations.
