Former US Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza says that if Trump wins the US election, he may not stop helping Ukraine but could reduce the level of assistance

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"There are radical politicians that politicize everything. They politicize now the US support for Ukraine. President Trump as a presidential candidate has said if he is elected in November 2024, he would end the Russia's war against Ukraine within 24 hours. Of course, that's impossible. And I think that if he does win, he won't cut all the assistance to Ukraine, but he'll scale it back. If God forbid he's president again, he can't simply stop all the US assistance, but nonetheless the question of sustained US assistance to Ukraine has become politicized," Bryza said.

According to the diplomat, if Biden wins, support for Ukraine will continue on all fronts.

"But it's not even a foregone conclusion yet that Biden will be the candidate. The vast majority of Americans, over 70% of Americans don't want Joseph Biden to run because they think he's too old. And even the majority of people polled in his own political party the Democrats think he's too old to run. So the Democrats may need to scramble to find a substitute candidate unless he may insist on running anyway," Bryza emphasized.

A Wall Street Journal poll shows that a majority of voters in the United States believe that current President Joe Biden is too old to run for a second term.

The US elections: details

On November 16, 2022, former US President Donald Trump announced that he would run for the White House in 2024.

Later, on April 25, Biden announced that he would run for the US presidency in 2024

On May 21, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election would lead to Ukraine's defeat in the war with Russia. 

Former US Special Representative Volker also explained how the US presidential election will affect aid to Ukraine.

Yuri Rashkin, a US politician and public figure, noted that Biden has a feeling that he is the best person to save the US from Trump's second term in office.

On August 21, former US President Donald Trump announced that he would skip the upcoming Republican primaries, citing his significant lead in opinion polls as evidence that he is already well known and liked by voters.

On August 26, Politico noted Ramaswamy's course of rapprochement with Putin. However, it jokingly suggested that he ask Prigozhin how the Russian president is able to fulfill his promises.

On August 28, potential Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said that he would recognize the occupied territories of Ukraine as Russian and would close Ukraine's path to NATO for the sake of an agreement with Russia against China.

The presidential and parliamentary elections in the United States are scheduled for November 5, 2024.
