In a Jan. 3 article in The Telegraph, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard claims that Trump is prepared to “throttle the Russian economy” if that’s what is required to get the Kremlin to accept peace on “America First” terms. The opinion piece cites a variety of sources—including an Atlantic Council “expert,” Leon Panetta, and Marco Rubio—to point to developments which he claims show that Trump won’t “throw Ukraine under a bus,” out of fear it will make him look weak. He is prepared to go further than Biden has to harm the Russian economy to get his way, writes Evans-Pritchard.
