Baker Briefing: The Russia-Ukraine War Under Trump

The U.S. has supported Ukraine with over $61 billion worth of military assistance since Russia’s invasion in 2022, including a surge of aid from the Biden administration in his final weeks in office. With Donald Trump set to return for a second term, how might his administration change the approach to Ukraine — and to Russia more broadly?

Glenn Corn, a former senior executive and intelligence officer in the CIA and current adjunct professor at the Institute of World Politics, joined the Baker Briefing podcast to discuss steps Trump could take and why the war’s outcome matters for American interests.
