[Translated from GegenStandpunkt 2-2025]
Ending the Ukraine War is high on Donald Trump’s foreign policy agenda. On the campaign trail, he already promised to immediately end it, within one day, and with him in power, it wouldn’t have started in the first place.
The interesting thing about the first statement is his political judgment on the war. Trump doesn’t mean that the job America undertook under his predecessor has been adequately completed and can therefore be ended. He considers America’s involvement there over the past three years to be utterly wrong. Therefore, the second statement doesn’t mean to say that America’s deterrent power against its main enemy has failed in Ukraine, but clarifies: Under Biden’s presidency the warring parties there failed to show their respect for America as the force for peace.
And even more: Trump’s predecessor steered his country into a war that wasn’t America’s concern from the start. Three years of war without any tangible progress, especially without any apparent benefit for America, but instead a damage caused by squandering beautiful US weapons and billions of dollars, are proof of this. Under Biden, America allowed itself to be embroiled in and exploited for an enterprise that is none of the world power’s business.
So Trump isn’t giving up on the war, let alone conceding defeat.

1. Europe continues the war in Ukraine: a rearguard action of its own kind for Ukraine as a bulwark of European security interests
2. Europe’s ceasefire diplomacy with Trump
3. Re-armament against Russia is essential – for Europe’s geopolitical role as a power that enforces order
