Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is “doing a pretty good job” against Russia. The comments were made during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Trump also reiterated his long-held criticism of NATO, claiming the alliance disappointed him during a conflict with Iran. He did not elaborate on the specifics of that disappointment. This assessment contrasts with some of Trump’s previous statements where he questioned the level of support Ukraine should receive. The meeting with Rutte occurred as NATO prepares for a summit in Washington D.C. in July, where discussions regarding continued aid to Ukraine are expected to be central. Trump remains a significant voice within the Republican party and a potential future presidential candidate.
