Trump prefers transactional foreign policy with Ukraine
A recent meeting between U.S. President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky turned chaotic, with both leaders arguing publicly. This incident highlighted Trump's transactional approach to foreign policy, reminiscent of early 20th-century isolationism. Trump has criticized U.S. financial support for Ukraine, claiming it is too high and questioning why the U.S. should bear the costs of European security. European leaders, including Macron, have countered that they contribute significantly to the war effort. The fallout from the meeting led to the cancellation of a deal signing between the U.S. and Ukraine. The situation raises questions about future U.S. involvement in global affairs and the potential for renewed isolationism.
