President Trump is once again showing real leadership on the world stage. He had a crucial call with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and European leaders on Thursday about ending the bloody war in Ukraine. While previous administrations just threw money at the problem, Trump is demanding real solutions.
The President made it crystal clear that Europe must stop buying Russian oil that funds Putin’s war machine. European Union countries have sent over one billion pounds to Russia through fuel purchases in just one year. Trump is right to call out this hypocrisy from our so-called allies.
Trump also demanded that European leaders put serious economic pressure on China for bankrolling Russia’s war effort. For too long, China has been playing both sides while America foots the bill for global security. This President refuses to let foreign powers take advantage of American taxpayers anymore.
Zelenskyy is now refusing to meet with Putin in Moscow, even though Putin apparently invited him. This shows Ukraine’s leader would rather keep fighting than work toward peace. Trump understands that sometimes you have to make tough deals to save lives and end conflicts.
European leaders met privately with Zelenskyy in Paris before calling President Trump. They know Trump means business when it comes to making Europe pay their fair share. Our European allies have been freeloading off American military might for decades.
The President’s America First approach is forcing other countries to step up and take responsibility. Instead of endless blank checks to Ukraine, Trump wants real accountability and results. He’s the only leader brave enough to demand that all parties come to the negotiating table.
Trump plans to speak with Putin soon after his call with Zelenskyy. This is exactly what a real dealmaker does – he talks to both sides and finds solutions. Previous presidents were too weak to take on this kind of direct diplomacy.
While the Washington establishment wants endless war, President Trump wants lasting peace. He’s showing the world that America will lead through strength, not through writing checks. This is the kind of bold leadership that puts American interests first.
