Trump stated that Biden is ‘going to give’ Ukraine to Putin, but he won’t
February 15, 2024Former US President Donald Trump and his advisors held a discussion with former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, an outspoken critic of US assistance to Ukraine and military interventions worldwide.
The topic of the talks was American foreign policy and plans for changes in the management of the US Department of Defense during Trump’s second presidential term.
This was reported by The Washington Post, citing sources.
Gabbard has faced criticism from former Democratic party colleagues and some Republicans for her isolationist views. However, in recent years, she has become somewhat of a favorite among far-right Republicans. This time, Trump is determined to bring on board staff members who share his views 100%.
In recent months, Trump has repeatedly stated that one of his biggest mistakes during his first presidential term was the selection of personnel in the Pentagon, as officials’ opinions often “boxed him in.” During his presidency, Trump replaced several defense secretaries and national security advisors, and these resignations were accompanied by loud scandals. Trump has learned from the past and is firmly committed to increasing the number of his people in the Pentagon.
Among former officials of the US president’s administration, the greatest concern is that Trump will try to appoint Douglas MacGregor to a top Pentagon position. In addition, longtime Trump advisor David Urban stated that during his patron’s second term in the presidential seat, there would be a “reduction in America’s foreign commitments” to NATO.
