Don’s unfair peace proposal for Ukraine: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: President Trump’s Ukraine battle peace deal with phrases together with Russian occupation of Crimea.
I applaud President Trump for making the tip of the Ukraine battle a precedence, and I perceive his need to meet a marketing campaign promise (“Peace deal’s on ‘iffy’ ground,” April 24).
However, forcing our ally to capitulate to our enemy is not going to deliver the peace the world desires.
The president retains speaking about this “leverage” he has on Russia — effectively, now’s the time to make use of it.

I used to be shocked at how magnanimous Trump was to Russia after I learn his peace proposal.
US recognition of Russia’s annexation of Crimea along with sustaining occupation of the territories that Russian forces presently occupy, together with the promise that Ukraine won’t ever be a part of NATO, is every thing that Russia has demanded. If Moscow refuses, it could actually solely be as a result of it desires to annex all of Ukraine.
Trump should make Vladimir Putin consider America is not going to, beneath any circumstances, enable that to occur and, if he persists in that endeavor, the financial penalties for Russia will likely be extreme.
I solely hope that that is what Trump meant when he mentioned that if this peace offering is just not accepted, we’ll “move on” from the negotiation desk.

Forcing Ukraine to offer up Crimea can be completely unrealistic and in the end reward Russia for its aggression.

The Issue: President Trump’s opposition to the Empire Wind Project and Mayor Adams’ pleas to revive it.
I hope Mayor Adams prevails over President Trump’s irrational aversion to wind farms and his resolution to tug the plug on the one already beneath construction (“Project on Hizz whoosh list,” April 25.
New York wants the clean, low-cost electrical energy, jobs and financial development offshore wind farms present.
Gov. Hochul has taken a firm stance in opposition to the strikes Trump is making.
She and Mayor Adams could be allies.

The Trump administration’s current halt to the Empire Wind Project off Long Island was based mostly on political opposition, not environmental issues.
Offshore wind affords advantages past clean power; it would revitalize our ports, cut back air air pollution and stabilize power prices.
Hochul famous that Trump’s motion threatens over 1,000 union jobs. Now Adams is leaping on the bandwagon, opposing Trump.
We can’t derail our clean-energy future as a result of of Trump’s fearmongering and debunked claims about whales.
