Zelenskyy Laments Losing a Key Ally as Ukraine Aid Hangs in Balance

In this episode of "Balance of Power," the focus is on the intersection of politics and global business. Marc Short, former Chief of Staff to former Vice President Mike Pence, discusses how reports of graft and corruption involving the Trump administration and the president's family are becoming a growing liability for Republicans ahead of the midterms. He emphasizes the need for a stronger closing message to motivate voters. Rep. Gabe Amo (D-RI), Vice Ranking Member on the Foreign Affairs Committee, argues that the Trump administration should take action against Russia and criticizes it for repeatedly failing to stand clearly with Ukraine. He calls for Congress to determine whether changes to Starshield capabilities or intelligence sharing have impeded Ukraine's defense and urges lawmakers to use the power of the purse to demand accountability. The discussion also touches on Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's remarks about the pity of losing a strong partner, as questions grow over US commitment to Kyiv. The episode provides in-depth analysis of these political and global business dynamics.
