    Donald Trump will fail to “make America great again” if he lets Ukraine fall into the hands of Vladimir Putin, Boris Johnson has warned.

    The former prime minister urged Republicans in Congress, who have [stalled a $60 billion aid package for Kyiv](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/09/camerons-us-trip-critical-for-ukraine/), to unite against Russia to maintain America’s status as the world’s pre-eminent superpower.

    Invoking Ronald Reagan, he said the move would deter China from attacking Taiwan, while issuing a defence of Nato and hitting out at [Western countries for appeasing Vladimir Putin](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/10/us-needs-europe-face-down-russia-china-nato/).

    He also called for Ukraine to be allowed to join Nato.

    Speaking on Wednesday at a conservative conference in Canada alongside former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott, Mr Johnson said:

    “The resolution to this problem is the security and the stability that comes with certainty about where Ukraine is and what Ukraine is,” he told an event at the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference in Ottawa, where he appeared alongside former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott.

    “Ukraine has chosen to be a free, independent European nation oriented towards the west, towards the EU, towards Nato.

    “And Ukraine must join Nato. That is the only logical way through this.”

    He said fears such a move would provoke Mr Putin could not prevent action.

    “We tried that … and look where that left us,” he said. “With the worst war in Europe for 80 years.

    “Nato is the body that gives certainty and stability and will bring peace. But in the meantime, give those Ukrainians what they need.”

  2. Boris is right, but I’m not sure Trump can follow the simple logic.

  3. Let’s be honest the world already know Trump’s plan for Ukraine, if he becomes president again, he’s said it time and time again,it’s a shame that alot of powerful people are turning a blind eye to this, if given the opportunity of being the US president again I could forsure see him giving in to Putin and jeopardizing the USA democracy as well and the dumbass republicans will go down in a burning ship with him.. All European nations that don’t coincide with Russia need to come together now,and support Ukraine with out limitations and restrictions before it’s to late. 

  4. Johnson might be the only one in the West Trump might listen to.

    God help us

  5. Don’t kid yourselves America, king chump the first doesn’t want to make America great he wants to make America wait! He wants you to wait on your knees for daddy putler to tell you what to do.

  6. Like he was going to make America great again to begin with.

  7. Trump wants the USA to be like Orcistan, a shithole country. Go figure.

  8. Jeez if even BoJo the clown is making sense the world is really broken

  9. Has nothing to do with America, why don’t these Europeans stay in Europe and do more with their own countries

  10. Say what you want about Boris but he was one of the first Western leaders to back Ukraine to the hilt. He pumped in anti-tank weaponry while others were hesitating.

  11. Trump says he will end the war in a day.. I’m curious what he meant by that? Giving the Donbas and crimea to Russia?? Guess what will happen in 15 more years if they do that… Russia will invade again…. I know for a fact because that’s why they kidnapped 50,000 children in Ukraine their future fodder. Crimea is ukriane .. how to fk Russia and Iran… give Ukraine a nuclear program or send them long range missiles .. give Putin an ultimatum.. turn the threats around see how the fkn russians like it.. I bet they pack up and leave if the United States gets serious with the posture.. stop playing like a bih to a bully… makes me really sketchy how my government is acting conflicted and weak especially before China attacks . China is definitely gearing up for an attack .. I’m watching to see when they start stocking up on blood that’s the warning of war. Politicians are playing a dirty game and our enemies are capitalizing on their weakness .. china’s watching every decision we make and we’re looking fkn stupid

  12. US became the uSS partner of ruSSia. They sabotage Ukraine and cannot even deal with Iran and Houthies. What a tragic waste of human lives and money. Soon they will directly have to deal with China because USS leaders are impotent cowards. There is no Viagra for the brain of ex-men, nowadays politicians.

  13. For the lack of better words, trump is a low life scumbag that does not deserve to exist on this beautiful blue and green pebble.

  14. Fucking hell never thought I’d see the day Boris Johnson says something that makes sense.

  15. So can anybody let me know what Trump did in his first stint as president to make America great?

  16. Boris would be better off saying this to a random stone or glass of water. What Trump heard: “Blah blah blah blah blah Make America Great Again blah blah blah.

  17. A broken clock is right twice a day – I hope Bojo had some sway with Trump on this.

  18. Boris has no idea that Cheeto is a Russian operative, easily pliable,since the 80’s! He won’t listen, to anyone.

  19. Johnson’s focus on supporting Ukraine is about the only thing he’s got correct.

    He was supporting Ukraine from fairly early on, which in my eyes goes a long way.

  20. lol he thinks Trump gives a shit about “making America great” and isn’t a narcissistic black hole

    If ever pondering why Trump, or all cons for that matter, do something… consider “does it personally enrich them or stroke their ego?”

  21. The only thing Le Imbecile Orange will be making great again is the inside of his prison cell. He’s a slippery customer but his day in court is coming and no amount of vitriol, bombast and grandstanding will stop it. I just hope he violates one of his many gag orders and gets his orange jumpsuit early…it’ll highlight his pasty white skin without its usual coating of spray-on tan.
