The American president insists on a ceasefire but ignores the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict, Aymeric Chauprade, a geopolitologist and former French MEP, told Sputnik Africa. Without addressing these underlying issues, no resolution is possible.
Commenting on the 50-day ultimatum issued this week by Donald Trump, the expert suggested that “beyond the grandstanding and somewhat clumsy policy taking shape,” the leader likely has “a desire not to yield to […] the American deep state that currently controls European governments,” notably Ursula von der Leyen and Emmanuel Macron.
The threat of secondary tariffs against Moscow’s allies is merely a bluff, according to Chauprade, as the United States “no longer has the means.” Indeed, China “is on track to become the world’s leading economic power.”
