“He’s been with me from the beginning! Together, we will achieve peace through strength and make America and the world safe again!” the president-elect wrote in a post on his Truth Social network.
Very critical of the billions of dollars released by the United States for Ukraine, Donald Trump promised to resolve the war between kyiv and Moscow even before taking the oath of office in January – without ever explaining how.
The former general appointed by the Republican to lead this mission raised the issue in a memo published in April.
“Any future US military aid will require Ukraine to participate in peace talks with Russia,” he recommends.
He also calls for “postponing Ukraine’s membership in NATO for an extended period” in order to “convince (Russian President Vladimir) Putin to participate in peace talks.”
Keith Kellogg, little known to the general public, briefly chaired the National Security Council, the White House foreign policy cabinet, during Donald Trump’s first term.
