Trump’s pick of J.D. Vance as running mate likely to alarm Ukraine and its supporters
After months of speculation, Donald Trump announced Ukraine-skeptic J.D. Vance as his pick for vice president Monday, a move likely to spark concern among Ukrainians and their supporters about the implications if the former president retakes the White House.
Vance has consistently opposed current levels of US military and financial aid for Ukraine, and was last year a key figure in blocking supplemental funding to aid the Eastern European nation’s defense against Russia’s war.
