Trump stopped military assistance to Ukraine

US President Donald Trump stopped all military assistance to Ukraine. It is a temporary measure that is supposed to take until the president's judgment that Ukrainian leaders are « committed to peace ».

The State Department website was 20 in January that they had provided almost $ 66 billion after Russia's attack by Ukraine. On the last day of the Democrat Presidency Joe's Bidn They also wrote that the United States, their allies and partners around the world combine Ukraine in its response to the Russian planned, unwilling and unfair war: « The US again emphasizes the unwavering support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine on internationally recognized borders, including territorial waters. »

Critics, however, have accused Bidn's administration only to prevent defeat rather than a military victory, and indeed the Ukrainian army on the fronts has not achieved success for some time. According to President Trump, the war turned into a senseless killing in the style of the first world with a supposedly 1.5 million victims on both sides. The Republican champion launched an initiative to end it with an agreement with a kiev to jointly exploit the Ukrainian riches of rare metals in its center. Ukrainians are expected to pay hundreds of billions of dollars, which were estimated by the US, and received a unique security assurance at a time when the state in the war with a nuclear superpower is rarely seriously seen in NATO in the Western Military Union.

Trump also offers Russia's hand and ensures that it prevents a potential World War II. President Vladimir Putin would like to tear off the current Asian ally of China, which they see in the US for the greatest threat to themselves and world peace. Ukraine should, according to these scenarios, accept the loss of part of the internationally recognized territory, although Trump also spoke about the Russian return of parts of the occupied territory in exchange for peace. He did not explain which territories were supposed to go.

With such proposals he greatly pissed off the Ukrainian president Volodimir Green, who he came to the White House on Friday to sign an agreement on the joint exploitation of rare metals, but objected to the host and jumped himself in front of the cameras. They escorted him out. The green did not apologize, so it was just a question of when Trump would pull the next moves.

However, the temporary stopping of military assistance to Ukraine may not be the last. Trump's close associate Elon Musk It already mentions the US and NATO's exit, which might bring Putin to the often expressed wishes for the return of Soviet and cesarean influence in Europe.

Criminal Customs Customs for Mexico and Canada, Taiwanese investment in the US

In another case, « first America », 25 percent criminal customs duties for all imports in the United States from Mexico and Canada have entered into force today. « Automobile and other factories will have to be built in the US to avoid customs, » the Republican president explained to advocate for the US working class. Trump also planned an additional ten percent of customs on all Chinese products. Similar measures should probably be prepared for the European Union, which has high trade surpluses with the US.
