Will America support democracies, like Ukraine and Taiwan, and defend them like we’ve done in the past for decades?”ĬNN’s Tori B. Even if Trump did end up back in the White House in January 2025, Europeans hope the Ukraine war will be over by then.īut Trump’s former defense secretary, Mark Esper, said the comments from the Republican front-runner are likely to rattle allies and is “the wrong message to send.” The sources – none of whom wished to be quoted – told CNN they took Trump’s comments seriously but noted that his views did not have any practical effect for now, since he is not currently the Republican nominee. European diplomats and officials expressed concern at Trump’s comments but also noted that he has a history of making outlandish and contradictory statements on foreign affairs, according to conversations with four diplomats from four different European nations.

Pressed by Collins on the conflict, Trump replied, “I’ll say this: I want Europe to put up more money.”
“Ukrainians are the victims here, Russia is the aggressor … I don’t need to abide by that same sense of courtesy for the Russians,” he said.
