Trump and Vance Have Room to Run on Ukraine, and on Europe
Justin Logan
The Washington foreign-policy establishment, working in concert with the Europeans, has been trying for years to “Trump-proof” both endless US aid to Ukraine and endless US dominance of Europe.

The new Trump administration can blow through most of these efforts if it chooses. And it should.
To much fanfare a few months ago, the effort to distribute military aid to Ukraine was moved from the US aegis to the NATO one. This was widely viewed as an effort to “Trump-proof” military aid to Ukraine, but it was never quite clear how it would Trump-proof the aid. The bulk of the military aid that has been instrumental to Ukraine’s survival thus far has come from the United States.
A NATO bureaucracy can’t prevent a US president from simply not requesting more aid.
