The head of American diplomacy Antony The blink is traveling to Brussels on Tuesday for emergency talks with Europeans to accelerate aid to Ukraine in the wake of the election of Donald Trump, according to a statement from the State Department.
The American Secretary of State will meet NATO and European Union officials there on Wednesday “to discuss support for Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression,” declared his spokesperson Matthew Miller, an urgent trip while President-elect Donald Trump threatened to stop US aid to kyiv. The movement of Mr. The blink looks very much like an emergency trip to the Belgian and European capital, against a backdrop of concerns from Ukraine and many capitals on the Old Continent about the sustainability of support for kyiv after the re-election of Mr. Trump on November 5 , to which is added a political crisis in Germany.
The former President of the United States (2017-2021), who will return to the White House on January 20, is already in action: he spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as with President Russian Vladimir Putin to ask him not to provoke an escalation in the war, according to the Washington Post. But the Kremlin denied that the two men spoke to each other, a “pure invention” according to Moscow. Donald Trump is also preparing, according to the American press, to appoint the influential Florida senator Marco Rubio as his secretary of state. The latter recently estimated that “we must end” the war in Ukraine, in an “impasse” according to him. The 78-year-old tycoon has regularly claimed he could end the war “in one day” even before taking office, without ever detailing how he would do it.
