President Trump on Monday said the U.S. will cooperate with Europe to address escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia after the latter fired on and seized Ukrainian ships off the coast of Crimea.
"We do not like what’s happening either way. We don't like what's happening, and hopefully it’ll get straightened out," Trump told reporters as he departed the White House for a campaign trip to Mississippi.
"I know Europe is not, they are not thrilled," Trump continued. "They’re working on it too. We’re all working on it together."
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said at a Security Council meeting on Monday that the Trump administration supports Ukraine, and called Russia's aggression "an arrogant act that the international community must condemn and will never accept."
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said all members of the allies "expressed their full support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty" in the wake of the altercation.
Trump is expected to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit in Argentina at the end of the week.

It’s like the Blues Brothers. Vlad is putting the old band back together.
A different interpretation is that he provided an excuse to the Ukrainian government to institute martial law. I don’t know the political details to know if that’s plausible.
I think that if Obama had been given an excuse to implement martial law, he would have taken it, so that’s what got me thinking along those lines.
And its NONE of our biz.
Especially when we’re being INVADED.
Poland is very concerned..bet on it
Yes, a good case of giddy minds and foreign conflicts. The Euros are so much smarter than us cowboy Americans so let them deal with it to show us how it is done.
Meh, Porkoshenko threatened to blow up that bridge. Why would you let him sail right under it?
“”We do not like what’s happening either way. We don’t like what’s happening, and hopefully it’ll get straightened out,”
This is not a statement that the neocons hoped for.
Appropriately tame.
Mr Putin, tear down that whatever you have there making Ukraine so nervous they might cancel their election, I thought from everything I read on the internet that Russians wanted to help us with our elections.
No, it’s erections.
US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley accused Russia of taking “outlaw actions” against Ukrainian ships. She also said Russia acted illegally and arrogantly when it blocked 3 Ukrainian ships traversing the Kerch Strait.
Haley is out and likely didn’t check her statement with the White House.
She rarely has.
GIVE UKRAINE NUKES NOW!
Yeah, one of the most corrupt nations on planet Earth, run by a cabal of neo-nazis and globalists... let’s give them nukes. Any other bright ideas?
Haley noted she had spoken with Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo before coming to the Security Council where she accused Russia of “outlaw actions”.
Nikki Haley could bang her shoe on the table and nobody would care. She’s a Lame Duck, Neocon, Never Trumper.
And you are...
Vlad’s poll ratings are in the pits. So are Poroshenko’s...
Hopefully no matter what happens the Ukrainian people come out the stronger.
“U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said at a Security Council meeting on Monday that the Trump administration supports Ukraine, and called Russia’s aggression “an arrogant act that the international community must condemn and will never accept.”
Nikki the numbskull is a tool for the Soros clique. That’s one reason why Trump is dumping this leftist tart.
So what do you propose instead dear sergeant? Let Putin operate like a neocon on steroids with impunity?
