Episode notes
President Trump’s indecision on providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine has raised fresh questions about what his true endgame may be. Is the president using the weapons issue as leverage in a broader negotiation with Moscow? Could his push for a ceasefire bring about lasting peace, or does it risk merely freezing the conflict on Russia’s terms? And what does this shift reveal about the administration’s broader approach to Europe, NATO, and America’s global role?
In this episode, Paul Saunders discusses these latest developments. Saunders is the president of the Center for the National Interest and an expert with more than three decades of experience in U.S.-Russia policy. He previously served in the George W. Bush Administration from 2003 to 2005 as Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs.
