After long weeks of waiting, the bilateral defense agreement between the United States and Ukraine arrived. However, with an eye on the upcoming presidential elections in the month of November and the possible return to the White House of Republican Donald TrumpUS aid for Kyiv may disappear,
Given this situation, the professor of International Relations, Pedro Rodríguez, assured in Al Rojo Vivo that “There is a countdown that everyone is very aware of”, while emphasizing that he meant “everyone, from Moscow to Jerusalem.” And this is where in his eyes the patches are being “seen,” because “the agreement sounds very good, but in the small print, with six months’ notice, the US leaves the agreement,” he explained.
Regarding whether the agreement can be broken, Rodríguez assured that “the situation is devilish”, especially if one takes into account that “the US Congress is even trying to stop Trump from unilaterally withdrawing the US from NATO.” In fact, he explained “we are reaching those levels of trying to put a spanner in the works given what ‘The Economist’ speaks of a two out of three chance of Trump winning in November.” In short, all “this is part of those patches.”
