Biden’s two-pronged plan to protect Ukraine’s future in his last days in office

Joe Biden Donald Trump Ukraine Kamala Harris United States Vladimir Putin

The US president, Joe Biden, is pursuing a last-minute attempt to shore up American support for Ukraine – ahead of a possible victory for Donald Trump in the US election on November 5.

Biden feels that US foreign policy on Ukraine is under threat, if Trump wins. The US president has been a longstanding advocate of Ukrainian sovereignty, signing a ten-year security commitment to provide military support to Kyiv back in June. But, with only weeks left in office and facing the possibility of Trump winning the 2024 election, this raises a big question about who will – or won’t – be on Ukraine’s side from January 20 next year. Biden is now trying to stack the political deck in Ukraine’s favour before he goes.

Trump is an unpredictable foreign policy leader – and it is difficult to say exactly what he would do on Ukraine if elected next month.
