Changes in US Foreign Policy
It is known that a group of military experts among Republicans convinced US President Donald Trump to change his position towards Russia. The White House's special envoy General Keith Kellogg played a key role in these efforts, influencing the president and his decisions.
"Kellogg's subtle work" with Trump allowed to ease tensions in relations with Moscow.
Despite Kellogg's continued coordination of relations with Ukraine, he was replaced in February by Steve Vitkoff. Vitkoff, who lacks diplomatic skills, has since met with Putin four times in person but faced some difficulties in coordinating Ukrainian territories during negotiations.
Who Influences Trump's Decisions?
The group of hardline supporters also included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who changed his position after the increase in Russian attacks on Ukraine. Many sources note that First Lady Melania Trump also had an influence on Trump.
These changes in political leadership may affect future relations between the US and Russia, as well as the attitude towards the Ukrainian issue.
After the group of hawks among Republicans convinced US President Donald Trump to change his position towards Russia, changes in US foreign policy became evident. Some new influential figures in government and diplomatic circles may influence the course of events, especially regarding relations with Russia and Ukraine.
