During the dinner, Trump also seemed to question why the G7 leaders were siding with Ukraine. The president told leaders that "Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world," the source said.

Well, he would know.

It is unclear whether Trump’s comments were throwaway remarks said in jest, or whether he was signaling a radical departure from current US foreign policy.

This implies a distinction that no longer seems to exist.

I guess someone forgot to read him the memo that we support corrupt governments as a matter of policy as they are easily manipulated

I was more thinking about how one of his former campaign people has since been indicted for being corrupt in Ukraine.

Give Pruitt time. At this rate, it'll come out he tried for some franchise opportunities in Ukraine too. He's nothing if not efficient at finding new fronts on which to be corrupt.
