Fox News Host Presses GOP Senator on Trump’s Approach to Putin in Ukraine Talks

Bill Hemmer challenges Sen. Bill Hagerty over whether Trump’s strategy to negotiate with Putin requires compromising U.S. principles.

Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer questioned Sen. Bill Hagerty on whether Trump’s approach to negotiating with Putin involves 'sucking up' to the Russian leader.
Hagerty defended Trump’s strategy, arguing it seeks to shift the conversation and achieve a resolution to the Ukraine conflict.
The U.S. recently aligned with Russia, Belarus, and North Korea in opposing a UN resolution condemning Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, raising eyebrows internationally.
Hagerty emphasized that Trump has not lifted sanctions on Russia, while highlighting Trump’s focus on reopening the Keystone Pipeline and countering Biden’s energy policies.
The Ukraine war has entered its third year, with significant casualties on both sides, as Trump claims to be in discussions with Putin about ending the conflict and fostering economic cooperation.
