Trump Says US Has "Just About" Ended Pause on Ukraine Intel Sharing
The U.S. President's statement on ending the suspension of intelligence sharing with Ukraine comes as a potential lifeline for the country, which faces significant challenges in defending itself against Russian missile strikes. The move could also signal a shift in Trump's approach to negotiating with Ukrainian officials and potentially paving the way for increased cooperation between the two countries. However, questions remain about the implications of this development on the ongoing conflict and its impact on regional stability.
- The fact that Trump is now optimistic about the talks raises concerns about the role of coercion versus genuine diplomatic efforts in shaping Ukraine's response to Russian aggression.
- Will the minerals deal ultimately prove to be a key factor in determining the trajectory of U.S.-Ukraine relations, or will it serve as a mere sideshow to more pressing regional security issues?
