Trump Will Keep Promise to End Ukraine Conflict — Polish President
Polish President Andrzej Duda posited that former U.S. President Donald Trump will likely keep his pledge to end the conflict in Ukraine within 24 hours if he wins this year’s election.
Trump, who is the presumptive Republican nominee to contest incumbent President Joe Biden this November, has said on various occasions that he would tackle the two-year-old conflict “in one day” if he were to win the presidency again.
“I can say from my personal experience as the president of the Polish Republic … what [Trump] promised to me was fulfilled,” Duda told reporters in Rwanda, as per Newsweek. “I can say that President Trump keeps his word and if he says something, he takes it seriously,” Duda added. “That is as much as I can tell right now.”
Duda enjoyed close relations with Trump during the latter’s time in the Oval Office, during which the United States and Poland signed bilateral energy, defense, and trade deals. The two leaders increased the presence of U.S. troops in Poland. During a visit to the White House in 2018, Duda remarked that a permanent U.S. garrison in the country could be named “Fort Trump.”
However, both men have taken very different stances on the conflict in Ukraine, with Duda’s government donating an estimated 3.2 percent of the country’s GDP to Kiev, and Trump repeatedly accusing Biden of dragging the United States toward “World War III” with his policy of open-ended military aid to Ukraine.
Reactions among other Eastern European leaders have been mixed. Czech President Petr Pavel — who has urged his fellow NATO leaders to increase the supply of weapons to Ukraine — warned last week that the bloc should “be prepared” for Trump to make a peace deal with Putin. The former U.S. president, Pavel pointed out, “looks at a number of things differently.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, like Trump, has repeatedly contended that the conflict never would have happened had Trump become U.S. president in 2020. “Today, apart from him, I do not see anyone in Europe or America who would be a strong enough leader to stop the war,” Orbán told France’s Le Point news magazine earlier this month. “Peace has a name: Donald Trump,” he added.
On February 3, The New York Times reported a rising concern among German leadership that NATO will not survive if Trump is reelected as U.S. president.
