    The president has some leeway, but our support for Ukraine was because we passed laws to support them.

    The Trump admin cant pass any laws. Its why they are trying to go all in on executive power, even when its illegal. They lack legislative power due to a fractured congress, even in their own party.

    They barely control the house, and many republicans actually want to support Ukraine. and will not be able to sanction Ukraine or materially support russia.

      I have my doubts that Trump will have enough pushback to make a difference but I’m not an American so I could be wrong.
