11.6 Trump

On November 27 local time, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump announced on social media that he would nominate Keith Kellogg as Assistant to the President and "Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia Issues." Trump highly praised Kellogg’s resume, stating that he has extensive experience in the military and business fields and held significant national security positions during Trump's first term.

In the statement, Trump wrote, "Kellogg has been fighting alongside me from the start! We will work together to achieve peace through strength, making America and the world safe again!"

Kellogg's Background and Controversy

Kellogg is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General who served as the Chief of Staff of the White House National Security Council during Trump's first term and briefly acted as the U.S. National Security Advisor. Afterward, he became the National Security Advisor to then-Vice President Pence and has shown a hardline stance on Russia and Ukraine issues.

In 2017, Kellogg briefly acted as National Security Advisor following Flynn’s resignation. Flynn resigned due to controversies related to Russia, marking the start of Trump's "Russia-gate" scandal. Although Kellogg kept a low profile in related events, his position on the Ukraine issue has been consistently clear.

In 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump following a phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. As a listener during the call, Kellogg testified, "I did not hear anything inappropriate in the call," adding support to Trump's defense.

Proposed Solutions to the Russia-Ukraine Crisis Draw Attention

In June this year, Kellogg and another Trump-era official, Fleitz, proposed a solution to the Russia-Ukraine crisis, advocating for strong measures to force both parties into negotiation. Kellogg stated, "We would tell Ukraine that if they do not come to the negotiating table, U.S. support will dry up; and inform Russia that if they do not negotiate, the U.S. will provide Ukraine with everything needed on the battlefield."

This stance echoes Trump's campaign promise, as he previously claimed he would bring peace to Ukraine “within 24 hours” of taking office. However, this statement has raised concerns among Western pro-Ukraine leaders, who fear Trump might push Ukraine to concede territory for peace.

International Reaction

Ukrainian President Zelensky stated last week that he expects the Ukraine crisis to potentially end by 2025 and is awaiting specific proposals from Trump. However, Russia has expressed skepticism about swiftly resolving issues. Kremlin spokesman Peskov stated the problem is too complex to be solved easily, though Russia remains open to negotiations.

Future Outlook

Kellogg’s nomination and his firm proposal for resolving the Ukraine crisis may attract more international attention in the coming months. On one hand, it remains to be seen whether the U.S. can pressure for peace talks; on the other hand, whether its policy direction will impact Ukraine’s long-term interests is also under debate. As the Trump administration officially takes office in 2024, this topic will undoubtedly become the focus of global diplomacy and security policy.
