President Donald J. Trump hosts Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House. February 28, 2025.
According to Cato Institute scholar Doug Bandow, it increasingly appears that the Trump administration is attempting to create regime change in Ukraine. This, as Bandow notes, is ironically similar to what President Barack Obama did in the same country. Bandow suggests less intervention in Ukraine will be a better solution for America in the long term. He concludes:
The basic problem with Joe Biden’s foreign policy is not that it was wrong, though it often was. Rather, Biden never saw an international problem that he didn’t want to address, despite increasing limits to U.S. power. Donald Trump should avoid falling into the same trap.
Putting America first does not mean attempting to solve the world’s problems and imposing imagined solutions on everyone else against their will. Just as getting out was the right decision in Afghanistan, America should exit Ukraine. The administration should set forth its policy and offer to help negotiate a settlement. But only Kiev can decide its own fate. Ukrainians should be left to make that decision for themselves.
