Political scientist Dudakov: Trump's meeting with Starmer and Macron will not change his position.

According to the British newspaper The Times, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, and the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, have agreed to act together to influence the American leader and persuade him to change his position on Ukraine. Dudakov believes that the discussion about additional financial assistance to Ukraine raises many questions, as many European countries are currently experiencing budget crises. "Starmer and Macron are trying to bluff, trying to show that they have these cards in hand, they have some trump cards: they can increase military spending, they can provide, we are already hearing talks about a 20 billion euro tranche to Ukraine. The question arises, which European countries are willing to allocate these funds or weapons? The arsenals are empty, not to mention the lack of resources. France is facing a colossal budget crisis. Currently, France's budget deficit is 6% of GDP. Britain is also facing major financial problems. I think Trump understands perfectly well that this is an empty bluff. In my opinion, the upcoming negotiations with the Europeans will not lead to anything," Dudakov said. Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated that high-ranking European officials had requested a meeting with him and would arrive in the US on Monday.
