How to Understand Trump's Ukraine Policy
Briefly

Donald Trump displays unprecedented characteristics such as lies, cruelty, and recklessness, which adversely affect his subordinates and congressional party. Criticism often caricatures him as a villain, particularly regarding his Ukraine policy. Observers suggest Trump’s alignment with Russia and enmity toward Ukraine's leadership. However, evidence shows that arms transfers to Ukraine have continued despite brief interruptions, indicating a lack of coordination in foreign policy rather than outright opposition to Ukraine. This complexity challenges simplistic portrayals of Trump's foreign policy intentions.
Donald Trump's characteristics of lies, cruelty, vindictiveness, and corruption are unprecedented in an American president, influencing both his subordinates and congressional party members.
