Carlson asked the same questions and Trump replied that opposing Russia wasn&#8217;t a good idea. &#8220;vital American national strategic interest&#8221; He stated that it was time for both countries to come to an agreement. <\/p>\n<p>Trump and DeSantis are at odds with many other members of their party, particularly top Republican leaders who believe that a sovereign Ukraine is in the U.S.&#8217;s best interests. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM THE WASHINGTON XAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.KY) emphasized that sentiment during remarks to the Munich Security Conference last Month.
