‘The Kremlin’s wish list is over’ — General Hodges on Trump’s defeat in the midterms | DW News
How much power has Donald Trump really lost with the midterms — especially on the world stage? Retired US General Ben Hodges believes the election results are bad news for Vladimir Putin and could force Washington to rethink its approach to Ukraine. He also expects tougher congressional oversight of the Trump administration and questions whether Trump will now resume military operations against Iran.
DW’s Ines Pohl spoke with the former commander of US Army Europe about Trump’s weakened presidency, the consequences for Ukraine and Russia — and why Europe still cannot afford to rely entirely on Washington.
