Trump’s decisions have nothing to do with the midterm elections

Political expert Andreas Kaju stated that recent decisions by US President Donald Trump have harmed Ukraine and benefited Russia, adding that he has no explanation for them, reports ERR News.Tarmo Kärsna, Head of Energy Sales at the fuel retailer Alexela, does not believe that purchasing Russian diesel will achieve Trump’s goal—lowering prices for American consumers and helping farmers. Kärsna noted that even if Russian diesel were to enter the US market, the volume would be less than what the country consumes in a single day—a mere drop in the ocean. The international market is also skeptical about the deal, questioning whether Russia is even capable of increasing its fuel exports under current conditions, given that such exports have fallen sevenfold since January.Among the latest unwelcome surprises is the restriction of satellite coverage, which prevents Ukrainians from striking targets in Russia and diminishes Kyiv’s ability to defend itself. Member of the European Parliament Riho Terras stated that it is clear that Trump has taken Russia’s side in the war and is demonstrably acting against Ukraine’s interests—a very unfortunate turn of events.Kaju, an expert on US politics, admitted that he has no answer as to why this is happening, but noted that it has nothing to do with the midterm elections. Kaju pointed out that if Trump wanted to win elections, he would have acted differently long ago. Over the past year, the US President has backed highly unpopular Republican candidates in several states. This implies that a Republican defeat in the midterm elections in these states is quite possible—a scenario that would have been unthinkable in the past.Kaju drew attention to an article in the American conservative publication National Review, which argues that the time has come for a joint Republican-Democrat investigation into Trump’s policy regarding Russia. The expert suggested that such an inquiry could indeed be launched in Congress following the midterm elections.
