Trump's Former VP Mike Pence Praises The President's Russia Policy 'Shift' And Criticism Of Putin

In an interview to CNN’s Kate Bolduan, former Vice President Mike Pence said he hopes Trump is “starting to recognize” that Putin is not interested in a negotiated end to the war he started in Ukraine. Pence praised Trump’s tougher talk toward Putin and the decision to reverse his administration’s pause on some weapons shipments to Ukraine, including air defense missiles. Pence said Trump’s sharper criticism of Putin and support for Ukraine could be the result of the President tuning out those advocating isolationist policies after some criticized the United States’ direct military involvement in Israel’s efforts to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
