Would Americans accept Trump’s concessions to Russia?

The real question is: What kind of concessions might Americans be willing to stomach to achieve that peace?

And more specifically: How much do they worry about those concessions emboldening and enabling a powerful adversary in Russia?

 It’s clear that President Donald Trump is pressuring Ukraine to make concessions. But Americans aren’t sold on giving up territory, and many are concerned about Russia’s threat.

It turns out Americans seem pretty concerned about major concessions to Russia — even as they are willing to entertain them.

Trump seems to have, at the very least, calculated that the war in Ukraine is approaching a lost cause and that major concessions are necessary. But Americans are not so clearly on the same page. They have trended in Trump’s direction, but selling a deal that emboldens and rewards an invading adversary that most Americans regard as a significant threat would seem to be a pretty difficult political task.
