(MENAFN) Donald Trump’s newly announced running mate, JD Vance, has pledged that a reelection victory in November would lead to a “rapid close” of the Ukraine conflict. Vance, who made this declaration during the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, emphasized that the United States should redirect its attention toward China, labeling Beijing as the “biggest threat” to American interests.
Following his nomination, Vance outlined Trump's future policy on Ukraine, asserting it would be “very simple.” He claimed that if trump had been in office, Russia would not have invaded Ukraine, a sentiment he believes is shared even among some Democratic colleagues privately. Vance criticized the Biden administration for its perceived lack of a coherent strategy regarding the ongoing conflict, pointing out that the United States has already invested USD200 billion in aid to Ukraine without a clear understanding of the ultimate goals or the risks involved, including the potential for escalation into nuclear war.
Vance argued that under Trump’s leadership, the approach would shift toward negotiation with both Russian and Ukrainian leaders to expedite the resolution of the conflict. He stressed that this focus on achieving peace would allow America to concentrate on what he views as the more pressing issue: the rising threat posed by China.
In summary, Vance's statements reflect a strong commitment to altering the current trajectory of United States foreign policy, prioritizing a swift resolution to the Ukraine situation while simultaneously advocating for a strategic pivot towards addressing the challenges posed by China.
