Boris Johnson Claims Trump Could Pressure Putin to End Ukraine War
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson claimed on Sky News that US President Donald Trump could be the person to pressure Vladimir Putin into ending the war in Ukraine. Johnson made the statement more than a year after Trump pledged to end the conflict in 24 hours, which has now entered its fifth year. The article notes Trump's inconsistent approach to Ukraine, including kicking President Zelenskyy out of the White House last year and oscillating between pushing Kyiv to cede land and supporting Ukraine's fight. Johnson cited Trump's willingness to use force against Iran as evidence of his toughness. However, Johnson acknowledged that Trump has not promoted Ukraine's sovereignty or NATO membership as US strategic objectives. Johnson described Trump as 'very good at listening' when he advocates for Ukraine.
