Trump's policy to be unexpected for Ukraine – MP Klymenko
The policy of Donald Trump, who won the presidential election in the United States, will be unexpected for Ukraine for now, Deputy Head of the Holos faction Yulia Klymenko said.
"Trump's policy will be unexpected for Ukraine for now, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to say whether assistance will continue to us. But what can be said for sure is that the Republicans will exercise much stricter control over the assistance provided," Klymenko told Interfax-Ukraine on Wednesday.
She said it can already be said Trump and the Republicans, who won the election, will have control in the Senate.
"So de facto, the Republicans have received a full opportunity to implement their policy at all levels. Within a month, even before the inauguration of the president, they will replace 1,800 positions, which require Senate approval, in all branches of government with their representatives," Klymenko said.
She also drew attention to the fact the Ukrainian authorities and politicians have directed most of their efforts toward partnership with the Democrats, forgetting about the Republicans.
"Such an unreasonable policy will also have long-term consequences for Ukraine," the MP said.
