Trump Pressured Ukraine Territory: Joe Biden has expressed concerns about the Trump administration’s approach to Ukraine, describing pressure on Ukraine to cede territory to Russia as “modern-day appeasement.” In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Biden criticized the Trump administration’s stance, drawing parallels to former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s failed attempt to appease Adolf Hitler in the late 1930s.
Concerns About US-Europe Relations
Biden fears that the Trump administration’s policies may lead to a breakdown in US-Europe relations, which he believes would have significant implications for global stability. “I think it’s going to change the modern history of the world,” he said, emphasizing the importance of strong alliances.
Ukraine and the Trump Administration
The Trump administration has suggested that Ukraine should give up some territory to secure a peace deal with Russia. US Vice-President JD Vance outlined a potential peace plan that would “freeze the territorial lines… close to where they are today,” implying that both Ukraine and Russia would need to relinquish some territory. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed this sentiment, stating that a return to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders is “unrealistic”.

Biden’s Stance on Ukraine
Biden defended his own record on Ukraine, stating that his administration provided Kyiv with everything needed to defend its independence. He expressed concerns that allowing Russia to dictate Ukraine’s borders would embolden Putin and potentially lead to further aggression. “I just don’t understand how people think that if we allow a dictator, a thug, to decide he’s going to take significant portions of land that aren’t his, that that’s going to satisfy him,” Biden said.
Trump’s Approach to International Relations
Biden also criticized Trump’s approach to international relations, particularly his comments on acquiring Greenland, taking back the Panama Canal, and making Canada the 51st state. “What the hell’s going on here? What president ever talks like that? That’s not who we are,” Biden said, emphasizing the importance of freedom, democracy, and opportunity in American foreign policy.
Comparison of Leadership Styles
When asked about Trump’s first 100 days in office, Biden highlighted his own achievements during his presidency, including economic growth, increased trade, and expanded US influence globally. In contrast, Trump has touted his efforts to overhaul the US relationship with the world, focusing on rebalancing trade, controlling immigration, and increasing government efficiency. Biden remained skeptical, saying, “I’ll let history judge that… I don’t see anything that was triumphant”.
