Unless they give him their pocket money (AKA Rare Earth Metals) - then yeah, what did anyone expect?
it's Trump - **** our allies, and cozy up to our enemies

I don't think it is unreasonable to expect something in return for how much the US has put into Ukraine over the past three years. When you look around the world, there is usually some kind of quid pro quo at work whether it is money, metals, bases or intel when it comes to foreign aid. I 100% am in favor of giving Ukraine military aid but it isn't free and should not be seen as a handout.

Europe has put considerably more money in aid into the Ukraine than the US.

Ukraine Support Tracker: €70 billion in new aid promised

Aid to Ukraine was boosted by €70 billion in new commitments in September and October. That is mainly a result of European donor agreements to utilize profits from frozen Russian assets for financing budgetary aid. This has widened the gap between promised funds and allocated aid, and Europe...

We (Europe) should come first.

Trump won't accept that of course, as far as he is concerned everybody should be beholden to him.

Europe is a continent, not a single nation.

Why should Trump accept that? He is not there to advocate or secure deals for Europe's nations. In this scenario he should first and foremost, secure and advocate the best for America. It's like hiring a lawyer. You hire the one that is going to represent and fight for you, not the one that is nicest or going to step aside for others.

Sad that difference of opinion is a reason to ignore someone.

Trump doesn't do what's best for the USA though, he does what's best for him and anyone he wants to enrich.

In what way does bowing to dictators and throwing allies under the bus help the USA? He's destroying every alliance the USA has excluding the one with Israel.

 

[Sour Patch Kid]

There are times I don't always agree or understand the moves Trump makes and when it comes to foreign policy, I often think that he and others in the Republican party are very isolationist and short sighted. That being said, when it comes to the idea of extracting concessions from Ukraine to make a deal in order for the US to obtain precious metals in exchange for the money that's been given, that is something that helps America and secures those metals. What has he done in the last three weeks that has not helped the US? Some of his decisions have not played out yet so it is hard to gauge their outcome as of right now.

What dictators has he bowed to and in what way?
