SEN. JEANNE SHAHEEN: If Trump wants a Ukraine deal, he should reread his own book

Trump's negotiation tactics with Russia over Ukraine are faltering. Experts urge increased sanctions and NATO support to counter Putin's aggression.

Democrat Jeanne Shaheen represents New Hampshire in the United States Senate. She is the ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee and a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. She previously served as governor of New Hampshire. You can find her on X @SenatorShaheen and on Facebook.

Getting U.S. policy right in Ukraine matters. If we allow Russia to end these negotiations as the victor, our NATO allies in Poland and the Baltics could be next. China’s President Xi Jinping will draw clear lessons from our capitulation as China plots a takeover of Taiwan. And would-be aggressors the world over will see that the international order that — while imperfect — has created stability and prosperity in much of the world has ended.
