The US President plans to resume negotiations with Russia through a policy of pressure
In a conversation with NATO representatives, American ambassador Matthew Whitaker revealed details of the President's plan regarding the resumption of negotiations with Russia. According to him, the administration led by Donald Trump plans to increase military cooperation in NATO and provide arms to allies in order to put pressure on the Kremlin. He called this approach 'coercion to peace.'
According to Whitaker, this plan is meant to convince the Russians to return to the negotiating table and achieve a sustainable ceasefire.
President Trump is a peacemaker, and we plan to pressure Russia to return to the negotiating table by providing our NATO allies with American weapons,

Expectations regarding Trump's new foreign policy strategy
These new steps by the Trump administration have raised expectations regarding the President's new foreign policy strategy. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham also expressed hope for achieving peace with Russia, but with the use of force.
'For Trump, this is not a game. He is different from his predecessors and shows that he is not afraid to take decisive action,' the senator emphasized, pointing to the seriousness of the new approaches to international relations.
With Donald Trump's return to the White House, new measures in foreign policy are expected to significantly change the dynamics of US-Russia relations, provoking reactions from both sides and influencing the international political situation.
