Candace Owens and Vladimir Soloviev Speak on How Trump Is Upending US Foreign Policy

Feb 27, 2025 | During his campaign, Donald Trump vowed to upend US foreign policy, even if it meant breaking long-standing norms. Now, he’s following through. This week, the US voted twice alongside Russia at the UN, marking the third anniversary of the Ukraine war. Trump has also publicly called out NATO allies, threatened the EU with tariffs, and even blamed Ukraine for starting the war. His statements have sent shockwaves not just across the Atlantic, but through Washington itself. This past week, Trump hosted the leaders of France, the UK, and Ukraine at the White House. His meeting with Emmanuel Macron saw the two clash publicly over how to handle the war. These talks come amid a flurry of diplomatic activity, including US-Russia negotiations in Riyadh and Turkiye hosting both the Ukrainian president and Russian foreign minister just days apart. Ankara has reaffirmed its commitment to peace efforts, offering to host future negotiations and support diplomatic solutions. So how will ties between Washington and Moscow play out in the coming months, and what role could Ankara play, given its close ties with both countries.
