Donald Trump leaned into his personal feud with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday.

The US president sat down for an interview with Fox News and reacted to criticism of his conduct during an Oval Office meeting with the Ukrainian leader more than a week ago in which Trump and Vice President JD Vance appeared to gang up on the European leader.

 

On Sunday, Trump reiterated that he thought Zelensky wasn’t “grateful” and added that he “took candy from a baby” — his description of the Biden administration’s policy of military and political support for Ukraine’s military.

The president also seemed to deride the Ukrainian leader’s assertion that service members in his country’s armed forces were serving the country bravely, as he dismissively recalled Zelensky “talking about the fact that they have fought and there's [...] bravery because somebody has to use those [US-supplied] weapons.”

 

도널드 트럼프(Donald Trump)는 일요일 우크라이나의 볼로디미르 젤렌스키(Volodymyr Zelensky)와의 개인적인 불화에 기대었다.

트럼프 대통령은 폭스 뉴스와의 인터뷰를 위해 자리에 앉았고, 일주일 전 트럼프와 JD 밴스 부통령이 유럽 지도자를 괴롭히는 것처럼 보였던 우크라이나 지도자와의 대통령 집무실 회의에서 자신의 행동에 대한 비판에 반응했다.

 

일요일에 트럼프는 젤렌스키가 "고맙지 않다"고 생각한다고 반복하고 "아기에게서 사탕을 가져갔다"고 덧붙였다.

대통령은 또한 자국의 군대에있는 군인들이 용감하게 나라에 봉사하고 있다는 우크라이나 지도자의 주장을 조롱하는 것처럼 보였다, 그는 Zelensky를 무시하면서 "그들이 싸웠다는 사실에 대해 이야기하고 [...] 누군가는 [미국이 제공한] 무기를 사용해야 하기 때문에 용기를 내야 한다"고 말했다.

 

You know, he was able to.

Trump calls Zelensky ‘ungrateful’ in Fox News interview

 

“He’s a smart guy, and he’s a tough guy.” Trump said of Zelensky. “He took money out of this country, under [Joe] Biden, like candy from a baby.”

He was asked by Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo about critics who claimed that he was easing up political pressure on Russia.

"그는 똑똑하고 터프한 사람입니다." 트럼프는 젤렌스키에 대해 말했다. "그는 [조] 바이든 치하에서 아기의 사탕처럼 이 나라에서 돈을 가져갔다."

그는 선데이 모닝 퓨처스(Sunday Morning Futures)의 진행자인 마리아 바르티로모(Maria Bartiromo)로부터 그가 러시아에 대한 정치적 압력을 완화하고 있다고 주장하는 비평가들에 대해 질문을 받았다.

 

 

“Nobody has been tougher on Russia than Donald Trump,” declared the president (after an extended rant about “the Russia, Russia, Russia, hoax”. “Remember, I’m the one that stopped the pipeline — Nord Stream 2.”

Trump’s record with that specific project is a bit spotty; he fought with Congress over sanctions on Russia aimed at preventing its construction. Eventually, the House and Senate forced his hand by including the sanctions as part of a yearly defense bill.

"도널드 트럼프보다 러시아에 더 강경한 사람은 없다"고 트럼프 대통령은 선언했다("러시아, 러시아, 러시아, 사기"에 대한 장시간의 호언장담 후). "기억하세요, 제가 파이프라인인 노르트 스트림 2를 막은 사람입니다."

그 특정 프로젝트에 대한 트럼프의 기록은 약간 얼룩덜룩하다. 그는 러시아의 건설을 막기 위한 러시아에 대한 제재를 놓고 의회와 싸웠다. 결국 하원과 상원은 제재를 연간 국방 법안의 일부로 포함시킴으로써 그의 손을 들어줄 수밖에 없었다.

 

His successor, Joe Biden, waived some of those sanctions upon taking office in an effort to reengage European leaders alienated during Trump’s first four years in office. But the Biden administration kept up pressure on the project, which was eventually halted formally by Germany’s chancellor after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

And some reports have indicated that his administration could be interested in cutting a deal with Russia in 2025 that would allow for the project to resume.

 

 

A gleeful Kremlin spokesperson declared in recent days that the US policy on Ukraine was shifting to entirely match the Russian government’s position.

“The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations,” Dmitry Peskov said on Russian state TV earlier in March.

 

But that could soon change. In a post to Truth Social on Friday, Trump threatened to impose further sanctions on Russia over a renewed offensive launched against Ukrainian defenders and civilians this past week. Blame for the effectiveness of the Russian attacks has been laid at the feet of the Republican president by some of his critics as it closely follows the confirmation by news outlets that US intelligence agencies had ceased real-time intel sharing with their Ukraininan counterparts, a key element aiding Ukraine’s air defenses.

 

On the same day, he added to reporters in the Oval Office that Ukraine was, in his mind, the greater obstacle towards ending the war. The US president has repeated that he believes Russia’s Vladimir Putin is ready for peace, though US intelligence assessments have stated otherwise.

 

“I'm finding it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine. They don’t have the cards,” he said.

Some European countries including France and the UK have responded with calls for increased European support for Ukraine, though experts say other Nato countries will likely be unable to bring to bear the same capabilities as their US allies.
