Fox News’ Brit Hume Says Donald Trump ‘Got Played By Putin’

NO LOC, JUL 15 – Brit Hume criticized Trump’s Russia strategy, saying he was manipulated by Putin amid Ukraine conflict and evolving U.S. sanctions and weapons support, Fox News reported.

  • On Monday, Fox News chief analyst Brit Hume stated that President Donald Trump 'got played by Putin' over Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine that began in 2022.
  • Hume explained Trump initially believed Putin wanted to end the war and negotiate but was misled as Putin refused to stop the conflict at that stage.
  • On Monday, Trump conveyed his dissatisfaction with Putin’s inability to end the conflict, warned of doubling tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if no ceasefire is achieved within 50 days, and revealed plans to provide additional military support to Ukraine.
  • Hume remarked that, based on the president’s own statements—though not expressed in those exact terms—it appears Trump was outmaneuvered by Putin, with the conflict and related aid extending over a prolonged period.
  • Hume concluded that someone has changed their stance to provide offensive weapons through Europe and impose sanctions that may impact Russia's war effort.
