In this regard, Fukuyama commented that for decades, U.S. President Trump has been pro-Soviet, and later pro-Russian. “This is very strange. No one really understands why this is the case.”

Fukushima said that in the 1980s, when the Soviet Union was still intact, Trump visited Moscow. Later, he spent tens of thousands of dollars to advertise in the New York Times, claiming that NATO should be held responsible for the Cold War confrontation, and that the United States should not fund NATO, as NATO had drained the United States of its resources.

"I don't believe he is becoming more sympathetic to Ukraine," Fukushan said, "the reason for his despondency is that he initially believed Russia could defeat Ukraine. He was disappointed because he wasn't able to force them into an agreement."
