QWhat position will Donald Trump adopt in Ukraine? Boris Johnson has his opinion on the matter. For the former British Prime Minister, the next American president will not capitulate to Vladimir Putin.
“I wonder how a guy like Donald Trump can inaugurate his mandate with a capitulation,” asks the former head of the conservative government, invited this Monday, November 18 on France Inter. The former British Prime Minister does not imagine the future President of the United States “giving Putin the opportunity to defeat Ukraine”. Boris Johnson sees in this scenario “a humiliation for the United States, for NATO, and for [Donald Trump] himself.”
“Maybe I’m naive, but we’ll see,” concedes the man who led the United Kingdom during the last eighteen months of Donald Trump’s first term in the White House.

Boris Johnson sees encouraging signs in Donald Trump’s first four years in power. “It may not be as bad as you fear,” believes the Briton. “Look at what he did, not what he said, while he was in the White House,” he adds. “On the economic front, Trump talked a lot about customs tariffs, but he made a free trade agreement with China,” insists the man who was British Prime Minister between 2019 and 2022.
