President Donald Trump’s tougher stance against Vladimir Putin is getting support from the Governor’s Mansion.
“He really has tried to use diplomacy and to come to agreements, even with people that are very much opposite U.S. interests. And you saw that with Iran, and it was clear that that wasn’t going to happen. And so then he had an opportunity to deliver a devastating strike, and he took it, and it was swift, and it was significant. And I think you’re seeing the same thing, maybe not military, but I think that Vladimir Putin does not want to bring an end to this. I think that’s very clear. I think the President’s patience has worn thin, and I think he’s ready to ratchet up the pressure,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday on “Hannity.”
Trump made a pro-Kyiv pivot[1] Tuesday on Truth Social.
“After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form,” he posted.
DeSantis also chided the European Union for inconsistency.
“They’re doing a little bit more militarily,” DeSantis said, but “they’re buying a lot of energy from Russia.”
“They’re the ones that always come to us saying,we need to send more money over there because it’s such a threat to the European continent. And if that’s true, then why are you buying this energy from them? So I think that this is going in a direction where the president’s going to use the levers at his disposal to help engineer positive outcome for the US and our Western allies.”
DeSantis also lauded Trump’s comments to the United Nations Tuesday as one of the “best speeches” Trump gave on “international affairs.”
He said it “was refreshing that the President went there in front of a generally hostile body, and told the truth, and told them why they were wrong, told them why their open borders (and) globalism has failed, how their green energy obsession has failed, and he talked about what good policies mean for America First.”
