Boris Johnson: ‘Trump Has a Good Record on Ukraine’; ‘Obama White House Actually Didn‘t Really Do Very Much to Support Ukraine’

‘It was Donald Trump who gave the Ukrainians those weapons’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “Well, people say this about the former president, President Trump, and actually, you look at his record, who was the guy who actually gave the Ukrainians the Javelin anti-tank weapons, which were so vital in that initial defense of Kyiv when Putin thought that his tanks were going to roll in within a matter of days and take the Ukrainian capital? It was Donald Trump who gave the Ukrainians those weapons. And you remember in 2014, the Obama White House actually didn’t really do very much to support Ukraine. So actually, the paradox is that I think Donald Trump has a good record on Ukraine, and when it came to the $61 billion, to the supplemental, and you know, again, I pay tribute to the United States of America, my understanding of what happened is that the president, President Trump played a very important role in reassuring congressional figures that this was a sensible thing to do because it was structured, as you know, as a loan, like the Lend-Lease loan to Britain in the Second World War.”
