Us and west alienate despite Macron's praise for Trump in Ukraine

On Monday, the third anniversary of brutal attack on Ukraine, the United States did not want to condemn the aggression of the Kremlin and chose new vocal friends at the United Nations, including long -time enemies such as Russia and North Korea. The powerful atmosphere in the UN headquarters better reflected the deep transatlantic crack than the scenes in the White House, where Trump and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron shook their hands and overwhelmed each other with praise.

The geopolitical tensions tighten

This day was characterized by almost shocking contrasts that extended from Kiev to Moscow to London, Washington and New York, while the global powers are trying to find their positions in the geopolitical chess game, which was revived by Trump's politics. A remarkable aspect of Trump's presidency is his insatiable wish for a personal summit with his friend, the Russian President Vladimir Putin. This longing has triggered a wave of diplomatic efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine that has been frozen for years.

The pressure on Russia and the rhetoric in Europe

On the anniversary of the invasion of the head of state, including the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, traveled to Kiev, to stand alongside President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, who has just been criticized by Trump. In London, British Prime Minister Keir Strander said that the G7 should take “more risk” to harm Russia, while Trump wants to go back to the club of the wealthy nations.

in Moscow Putin condemned European leaders, who in his opinion are too close to Ukraine to convey peace and praised Selenskyj with statements that Trump would pleased by claiming that the president was freed from these.

The complexity of the peace negotiations

Under the diplomatic spectacle, a common topic is hidden: The leaders know that Trump is desperate in search of a "deal" to improve his reputation, and fear that the president will not pay attention to the details in his pursuit of political admiration and a difficult -to -understand peace prize.

Trump emphasized Macron during a press conference: "I do business. My whole life is about business. This is all I know are shops. And I know if someone wants to achieve something and if not."

his subordinates constantly glorify him for his almost supernatural skills at the negotiating table; They emphasize that he is the "Chief Deal Maker". However, this unorthodox approach to diplomacy could possibly offer the potential for peace and end the bloody conflict that affects the lives of many Ukrainian and Russian soldiers as well as thousands of civilians.

The economic implications for Ukraine

If Trump manages to sign an agreement with Ukraine to exploit their rare earths and minerals, this could offer Ukraine an economic lifeline during reconstruction. At the same time, it could be a reason why his administration and other states are still involved.

The brutal new foreign policy of Trump in Europe has already achieved results. France and Great Britain have offered to send a "pacification group" to Ukraine after a peace agreement has come about. NATO countries finally seem to be ready to significantly increase their defense spending.

The difficult role of diplomacy

However, one cannot forget that peacekeeping goes beyond simple real estate transactions. Peacemaking involves human life, historical hostilities and complex calculations, including the existential question of whether Ukraine can survive and what a "victory" of Putin would mean for future European security.

The concern of the Europeans was reinforced when Trump showed his apparently limited understanding of how a peace agreement could reward Putin's land robbery in the joint press conference with Macron and would lay the foundations for future wars.

macron and the challenge of diplomacy

Macron, on the other hand, applied his extensive range of compliments and tactile physical contact under "Dear Donald", even as he corrected Trump in his false claims about the support of the United States for Ukraine. After visiting the White House, Macron turned to Fox News and said that Trump's return could bring a change and that he has the United States' ability to re -engagement with Russia.

However, the uncertainties about the degree of "solidarity" between the USA and Europe remain because Trump refused to publicly offer help. It remains unclear

conclusion: a new chapter in geopolitics

Overall, Trump's behavior shows that relationships between Washington and the traditional allies that the United States have protected since World War II are very tense. These tensions became clear when Trump was asked whether Putin, who killed and locked up his opponents, was a "dictator". Despite the concerns about the challenges of peace, the geopolitical landscape is further influenced by Trump's unorthodox diplomacy and his search for a deal.
