Donald Trump’s success during Super Tuesday will complicate the process of agreeing on aid to Kyiv in the US Congress. Such an opinion with “Izvestia” shared Richard Bansel, professor at Cornell University in New York.
“This will not speed up the decision-making process in the US Congress. Now that Trump is practically a candidate, it will be even more difficult for the Republicans. They will make decisions only based on whether this will preserve Trump’s chances of winning the election.”– he said.
Bancel believes that Trump’s successes will negatively affect the decision-making process in Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a real problem within the Republican Party, since its moderate wing does not want to give in to the far right, and Johnson himself does not have much real power, the expert explained.
The professor added that Trump does not have the ability to reach a compromise on the Ukrainian crisis, despite a more benevolent position towards Russia. At the same time, current President Joe Biden has a greater chance of achieving a peaceful settlement due to the ability to influence other NATO members and EU countries.
