If Re-elected, Will Trump End the War in Ukraine?

Following the 10-year term of Norway's Jens Stoltenberg, former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte became NATO's 14th Secretary-General on Tuesday, pledging continued support for Ukraine against Russia and a potential "future NATO membership" for Ukraine.

Besides ensuring a "sovereign, independent, democratic" Ukraine, as well as defending "our people, our nations, and...our values," Rutte said he would work to grow NATO's relationships with the EU and other nations with shared values.

Rutte claimed that while Russia is "making some limited gains," backing Ukraine is "the right thing to do" and "an investment in our own security."

He also cited the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which had departed from Amsterdam before Russia-linked forces are believed to have shot it down, as proof that "the conflict in Ukraine is not contained to the front lines."

Regarding how he would deal with the next US president — especially regarding Donald Trump, who recently told Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelensky that he wants the war to end — Rutte said he's "not worried" and would be able to work with either Trump or Kamala Harris

This comes after the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, said the help of the US and EU play a "crucial role" in the war, without which "Ukraine would have to surrender."
