Editorial: The New York Times

• President Trump is trying to end the destructive three-year-long war in Ukraine through negotiations, though his approach is deemed detrimental and counterproductive for Ukraine.
• Trump is pivoting U.S. foreign policy, aiming for peace that contradicts the mission of a sovereign, independent, democratic, and prosperous Ukraine.
• Trump's actions run counter to America's ideals, interests, and security — and to his own party's values.
• Trump's approach to foreign policy is yielded by his ego, favoring his own grudges rather than national interests, which is causing concern within the Senate.
• Trump's approach to foreign policy is ill-studied, bullying and driven more by his ego and grudges than by the nation's best interests.

Conclusion: President Trump's approach to foreign policy has proven to be detrimental and counterproductive, with personal interests taking precedence over national and international allies' interests.
