Trump’s narrative frames Ukraine’s position as adversarial to U.S. interests, implicating NATO and European leaders as complicit in a scheme that undermines American authority and investment. He describes the relationship between the UK, Ukraine, and NATO as one where the U.S. is not only a contributor but a victim of manipulation. The perception of being 'Trump-proofed' may have pushed Trump to leverage his role as president to destabilize existing agreements, further complicating the landscape of international relations.
