Russia-Ukraine War: US President Donald Trump has surprised global politics by taking one big decision after another as soon as he took power. The most recent and controversial decision among these is to stop the aid to Ukraine. Trump's move has not only shocked Ukraine, but has created a stir around the world.Big setback for UkraineDonald Trump's decision has created problems for Ukraine. Earlier, during the tenure of former President Joe Biden, the US had given billions of dollars in military aid to help Ukraine in the ongoing war with Russia. This aid provided Ukraine with the necessary resources to survive the war. In 2023, the US gave more than $64 billion in aid to Ukraine. But now this cooperation has come under threat due to Trump's decision.Impact of 'America First' policyThis move is part of Trump's 'America First' policy. Under this policy, he has announced to strictly limit foreign aid. However, allies like Israel and Egypt have been excluded from this decision, so that these countries will continue to get US help. Experts believe that this decision will have a profound impact on development projects and military aid.Warning to Russia and PutinTrump recently made another big announcement by giving an ultimatum to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He clearly said that Russia should compromise with Ukraine, otherwise be ready to face sanctions. Trump also claimed that he is ready to negotiate with Zelensky and Putin to end this war.Major changes in foreign policyAfter taking power, Trump has made many major changes in US policies. This includes decisions like action against illegal immigrants, abolishing citizenship of children. He overturned many decisions of the Biden administration after taking oath as the 47th President in the US Parliament.Global responseThese decisions of Trump have caused a stir globally. His tough and unexpected steps have surprised leaders and experts around the world. According to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, an internal review of foreign aid will be conducted in the next 85 days, which may also affect other countries.ConclusionThis move by Donald Trump redefines America's priorities. However, its long-term effects are yet to be assessed. The Trump administration's 'America First' policy may change not only America, but also the equations of global politics and cooperation.
