Republicans who served under Ronald Reagan during the cold war have condemned Donald Trump’s move to soften relations with Russia and undermine the 75-year-old transatlantic alliance.

“The Trump administration has no regard for the 80 years of Atlantic cooperation and the sovereignty of Ukraine ,” said Ken Adelman , a former US ambassador to the United Nations .

Trump seemed to blame Ukraine for not ending the war sooner another breach in the western alliance.

Roger Wicker , chair of the Senate armed services committee, called it a “rookie mistake” Bill Kristol , director of the advocacy group Defending Democracy Together , said it was foolish and reckless to put that at risk for what? To get along with Putin ?.
