Trump shifts U.S. support from Ukraine to Russia, challenging GOP lawmakers
President Donald Trump has shifted U.S. support away from Ukraine, aligning more closely with Russia. This change has unsettled traditional Republican supporters of Ukraine, who now face internal conflict over Trump's stance. Republican lawmakers have expressed concern about Trump's comments on Ukraine but have not strongly opposed him. Support for Ukraine among Senate Republicans has decreased, reflecting a broader shift in the party's position on foreign aid. Many Republicans are cautious in their criticism, suggesting Trump's remarks may be part of a negotiation strategy. Some lawmakers believe he is working towards a peaceful resolution, while others acknowledge the need to give him space for now.
