At a moment when Trump is nearly abandoning Ukraine and showing how much he favors Putin with his outrageous diesel deal that flies in the face of a bill passed unanimously by the Senate in 2022, it's clear to me how much corruption and incompetence is at the core of a lot of what Trump is doing in foreign policy. Remember, the people he has sent to Moscow to represent us in negotiations with Putin trying to end this war with Ukraine in negotiations with Putin. that Trump promised to end on day one. Those negotiators are a New York real estate developer and his son -in -law, not the Secretary of State, not someone with decades of experience in important negotiations, not someone who's ever served in international relations, but Witkoff and Kushner who have lots of complicated personal interests, those are also the two negotiating who have lots of complicated personal interests. peace in the Middle East. And that may partly explain why neither of those have resolved well. The war with Iran and the war between Russia and Ukraine continue to rage on, and they contribute to the high price at the pump that Americans are paying.
