Nato leaders urge additional support for Ukraine as Trump prepares to meet with Duda | World News

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is set to meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda in New York on Wednesday, in a dinner meeting that has raised concerns among European leaders.

With Trump’s history of critical comments about Nato and his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin, leaders of Nato countries are on edge about the potential implications of a Trump presidency. Poland, a Nato member that shares a border with Ukraine, has been particularly vocal about the need for additional funding to combat Russian aggression.

Trump, who is currently in New York for the start of his criminal hush money trial, has been a controversial figure in US politics. His stance on foreign aid, particularly towards Ukraine, has caused division within the Republican party.

The meeting between Trump and Duda comes at a crucial time, as tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to escalate. Trump’s recent comments about potentially supporting additional funding for Ukraine, albeit in the form of a loan, have raised eyebrows among his supporters.

As Trump navigates his legal troubles and continues his campaign, his interactions with foreign leaders like Duda will be closely watched. The outcome of this meeting could have far-reaching implications for US foreign policy and relations with key allies in Europe.
