One Democrat said Europe ‘should plan for Trump to hand Ukraine to Putin to hand Taiwan to China’.
In 2017, when Donald Trump first took office, McCain spoke about international cooperation at the conference, as if to push back on Trump’s brand of America First isolationism.
Murphy went to Munich last year as the Senate debated a bill he crafted with Republican Sen. James Lankford and now former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema that would provide more aid for Ukraine and Israel in exchange for tighter border security provisions.
“They should plan for Trump to hand Ukraine to Putin and to hand Taiwan to China and for America to be a fundamentally weaker lesser power... four years from now.”.
In the same vein, Sen. Thom Tillis, one of the other remaining Republican supporters in the McCain mold, told The Independent that he was getting ready to go to Munich to reassure Europe.
