Ambassador Resigns, Citing Trump’s Complicity with Russia
Ambassador Bridget Brink resigned after three years, citing her inability to support the Trump administration’s policy of pressuring Ukraine, the victim of Russian aggression, instead of the aggressor. Brink’s statement criticizes this approach as appeasement, arguing that it jeopardizes American interests and global security. She advocates for stronger US leadership in supporting democracies and opposing autocrats, emphasizing the moral imperative to stand against Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine. Her resignation followed criticism for her response to a Russian attack and a perceived lack of condemnation of Russia’s actions.
