Trump “is very interested in doing business with Russia”: analyst • FRANCE 24 English

President Zelensky said he will meet US envoy Kellogg on Thursday and that he hopes for “constructive” work with the US. The meeting comes as Trump used an extended social media post on his Truth Social platform to lash out at Zelensky and call the Ukrainian a “dictator without elections.” Michael Benhamou, director of OPEWI, Europe’s War Institute, says that Trump is aiming to open the Russian market to American companies, rather than support Ukraine and its allies.

  1. Great interview. Europe is on the brink of change in leadership from Germany to France and Trump is making sure it happens.

  2. Everyone is falling on Trumps plan to step down from funding Ukraine. He creates this so called fued and causes a stir and so politicians is different country spheres would stand up and say they would pay for Ukraine and then bammm.. Trump team says Ukraine will be funded by others ( who eever stepped up with their wise stupid words)and they step out. It's a smart tactic.😅 How to save money by Trump admin.😊

  3. Putin is a seasoned strategist; Trump is an inexperienced player in a game far beyond his depth. Mistaking Putin’s overtures for genuine friendship is a grave miscalculation—Putin wields threats, including nuclear posturing, to advance his own agenda. Trusting him is naive. The moment Trump ceases to be useful, Putin will discard him without hesitation.

  4. what for this war, chest beating to say that we troubled Ukrainian or Russian or we won impossible war, any way which is never going to happen, what for then, ask these questions honestly to yourself, your mind will now open & see, we lost innocent men and women soldiers many people displaced from their place and the destruction can not bring back that beautiful city or and the green field and finally the trauma inflicted on young minds, it will take many years to come to normal life. now put your self in their shoes your inner mind will open , (if you are honest to your self then only), and it will say what happened is wrong. totally wrong. We should have only gone for discussion, diplomacy & not war. agree to listen both party equally and work out a solution that not lead to war. Not stop signing the peace treaty which is agreed by both party etc etc. Now your heart will also agree that US is in right path what india, brazil indonesia have taken already.

  5. First time I hear an analyst so sees the picture for what it is. What Trump is doing will be good for America but not so much for her allies. With the Russians on his side Trump puts America back on the map, he will control all of Russia's allies including Saudi Arabia while slowing down China's influence. The only issue here is that he will force Europe to turn to China and India. This will be the unforeseen consequence of Trump's actions. At the end of all of this, there will be five super powers in the world, US, Russia, China, Europe and India

  6. Zelensky and Ukraine mishandled Putin from the beginning by wanting to join NATO. Putin has said several times he has no objection for Ukraine to join EU for economic benefits NO NATO! If Zelensky can't play his cards well, within the constraints then he is a lousy politician!

  7. Trump is being realistic and correct.
    Europe is stupid to instigate Russia into a war with Ukraine.
    Imagine Cuba asking for a defence pact with Russia and putting nuke missiles there.
    Peace and prosperity is better than an ideological war.
    Is Russia going to conquer Europe…?
    You must be a dummy to believe that BS.

  8. These peoples are delusional Trump doing these thing is due to China Russia relationship growing

  9. Europe has let the USA pay for its defense, defend its socialist lifestyle, then limited access to its markets, and regulated American companies excessively.
    Time to pay up!

  10. Good and sensible analysis. I thought so too. Trump is not a foreign policy actor . He is more of an actor that resembles an international businessman. Americans have voted for the wrong people just because Democrats fail to appeal to the middles classes

  11. If France want war so bad then why don't you go alone? Why drag others into it? Here in US we voted a president who will stop these endless war that only benefit the military industrial complex and few families like Biden's.

    Also, a politician does not cancel election if their approval rating is 57%… Stop eating your smelly cheese and wine and go fight for yourself.

  12. He was voted in because he was gonna make peace with all the pro Russian speaking citizens he promised once in he went in the other direction and that is a fact this news channel is so full of propaganda I wonder who ? Is paying them just listen to this guy man

  13. Why should we tax payers pay even more taxes for this pie in the sky Putin wouldn’t stop in Ukraine nonsense ! Where is the evidence ????? You had 3 years and over a million dead and still you want to carry on , I thought diplomacy was the first line on defense

  14. "Trump keeps insulting France and Europe. Why didn’t Macron and the French government respond to him? Is it because the USA is the one insulting them? Why don’t you act at all? Go and punish America, a cowardly nation. Why don’t you treat the USA the same way you treat Algeria?"

  15. Donald Trump is NOT funny, has no grasp of this situation, and has no strategy. Siding with NATO's major enemy(PUTIN) and giving all his negotiating cards away to the aggressor, weakening the victim.

  16. Disgusting buy stuff from Russia? So basically lifting sanctions and giving the Russians to bank roll their war of aggression real genius move
