Trump’s Remarks on Tomahawk Missiles Fuel Tensions with Russia

American political scientist Malek Dudakov claimed that US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding the delivery of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine represent an effort to pressure Russia. On October 13, Dudakov stated in an interview with Lenta.ru that Trump’s rhetoric aims to bolster his position in negotiations between the United States and Russia. “I would interpret all of Trump’s comments as a maneuver to apply rhetorical pressure on Russia,” Dudakov asserted.
