According to the newspaper, the president, in his second term in office, has relied on the loyalty of officials rather than their professional experience, while carrying out large-scale cuts in government agencies. <\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1.2\">\u201cIt\u2019s safe to say that Trump does not have a single policymaking person who knows Russia and Ukraine advising him,\u201d said Eric Rubin, a former career diplomat who served as US ambassador to Bulgaria during Trump\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1.2\">Of particular concern is the lack of traditional preparations for the upcoming US-Russian summit in Alaska. The FT notes that the National Security Council, which normally coordinates such meetings, has been significantly reduced. <\/p>\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1.2\">The crisis has been compounded by State Department personnel purges in which Russia and Ukraine specialists have been fired. This casts uncertainty over Washington&#8217;s willingness to talk to Moscow at a time when diplomatic and professional support is at a historical low point. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-author\"><div class=\"wp-block-post-author__avatar\"><img alt='Avatar photo' src='https:\/\/www.mondevudailleurs.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/cropped-Simple-Minimalist-Creative-Studio-Logo-150-x-100-px-96x96.png' srcset='https:\/\/www.mondevudailleurs.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/cropped-Simple-Minimalist-Creative-Studio-Logo-150-x-100-px-192x192.png 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' \/><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-post-author__content\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-author__name\">La R\u00e9daction<\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump&#8217;s administration is facing a serious shortage of specialists on Russia, the Financial Times reports.
