Trump’s second term reshapes US foreign policy with bold Ukraine stance
US politics has taken a sharp turn under President Donald Trump’s second term. Since returning to office in 2025, his foreign policy has earned the nickname Make Allies Guess Again—a nod to its unpredictable shifts. Meanwhile, critics describe his approach to Ukraine as Make Adversaries Gain Advantage, as tensions rise over halted aid and heated accusations.
Trump’s latest focus has been Ukraine, where he has repeatedly blamed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the ongoing war. In February 2025, he criticised Kyiv’s rejection of a US-proposed 28-point peace plan, which included territorial concessions. Since taking office, he has frozen all American aid to Ukraine, openly expressing frustration with the country’s leadership.
Trump’s second term has solidified a pattern of unchecked executive power, with little pushback from Republican-led institutions. The freeze on Ukraine aid and domestic distractions reflect broader shifts in governance. For now, the political landscape remains deeply divided, with no clear path to bipartisan compromise.
