Paulo Portas, in his weekly commentary slot on the National Journal, addressed the trip of Donald Trump's envoys to Moscow and Kyiv. In his analysis, Portas once again highlighted the signs given by Trump of his predilection for Russia.

The commentator highlighted that it is the first time since 1917 that an American president likes Russia. This observation comes in the context of the diplomatic missions sent by the Trump administration to both capitals, Moscow and Kyiv.

Portas's analysis focused not only on the implications for the war in Ukraine, but also on what these trips may mean for the relations between Europe and the United States. The commentary comes at a time of significant geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe.
