Boris Johnson does not believe Trump will abandon Ukraine

4 November 2024

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson believes that if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election, he will not allow Russia to win the full-scale war against Ukraine.

Source: European Pravda, citing an interview Johnson gave to CNN

Details: The former British prime minister said that just continuing Joe Biden’s current policy on Ukraine “is not enough, even if Kamala [Harris] wins”.

Recalling his meetings with Trump while serving as UK Foreign Secretary, Johnson added: “On a lot of the key issues – when it came to Iran, Syria, Ukraine, Russia, or Putin – he [Trump] was very, very solid.”

Quote: “I hear what people say. And to say that I’m not anxious would be clearly wrong – I am very concerned. But I believe, on the basis of what Donald Trump has done in the past, that he will be robust.”

Johnson believes that Trump, who is driven by his ambition to “Make America Great Again”, would not want to start his presidential term by “basically allowing the Soviet empire to be great again”.

Last month, Boris Johnson stated that Trump’s unpredictability alone would have been enough to deter Vladimir Putin from launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Background: Trump has made it clear during his election campaign that he would halt or significantly reduce military aid to Ukraine if he wins on 5 November, and has also refused to state that he wants Ukraine to win the war.

    • He said the same thing before in an OpEd in the Mail, which I published, citing the Javelins as proof!
      He’s pally with Trump, but not utterly devoted like Nigel Farage is. The latter has flown to Mar-A-Lago to attend the victory celebrations.
      But interestingly he’s now hedging his bets. DT reports :

      “Donald Trump should concede defeat and “go and play golf” in Scotland if he loses decisively to Kamala Harris, his friend Nigel Farage has said.
      In an interview with The Telegraph during a visit to the former president’s home in Palm Beach, Mr Farage also said Ms Harris should pardon Trump if she is elected.
      Polling shows Trump neck and neck with Harris going into the election on Tuesday, with late surveys suggesting Ms Harris is enjoying a late surge.
      Washington DC and the US are braced for possible civil unrest and election interference.”

      • “Washington DC and the US are braced for possible civil unrest and election interference.”

        We can thank the orange felon for creating such conditions in our country. Before him, no elections were ever questioned, the Capitol was never stormed, and the country was never so split in two.
