Any peace agreement by US President-elect Donald Trump that would allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to declare victory in the military operation in Ukraine would undermine US interests. This was stated by Rob Bauer, head of NATO’s military committee, reports The New York Times. Bauer was speaking at a session of the European Defence Summit in Prague.
He wondered if allowing ‘Russia to win’ would then ‘mean what it would mean for other autocratic states in the world where the US also has interests.’
In turn, a representative of Trump’s transition team, Caroline Livitt, said that Trump was re-elected because Americans ‘trust him to lead the country and restore world peace through force,’ The New York Times writes.
