(PM.) Alex Soros penned an op ed in in Politico about the George Soros-founded Open Society Foundations and the Soros mission. Part of that mission is preventing Donald Trump from serving another term in the White House.
“I believe a MAGA-style Republican victory in next year’s U.S. presidential election could, in the end, be worse for the EU than for the U.S. Such an outcome will imperil European unity and undermine the progress achieved on many fronts in response to the war in Ukraine,” Soros said.
Trump has been outspoken in his opposition for the Biden administration’s ongoing, expensive support for the war in Ukraine. Ukraine has received billions in cash, aid and weapons since Russia invaded their neighboring nation in February 2022.
Trump, who worked with Ukraine’s President Zelensky during his time in the White House, as well as with Russia’s President Putin, has said that he’d bring a direct end to the war as soon as the 2024 election installs him back in the White House.
“I know Zelensky very well, and I know Putin very well, even better. And I had a good relationship, very good, with both of them,” Trump said in July.

“I would tell Zelensky,” Trump said, “‘no more, you got to make a deal.’ I would tell Putin, ‘if you don’t make a deal, we’re gonna give them a lot. We’re gonna give more than they ever got if we have to,'” he said. “I will have the deal done in one day, one day.”
“We are adapting OSF to be able to respond to whatever scenarios might emerge, on both sides of the Atlantic,” Soros said.
He tackled the apparent rumor that Soros, and OSF are “leaving Europe,” saying that this is misleading.
Soros claims that he and the Foundation “Are shifting our priorities in Europe accordingly. Yes, this means we will be exiting some areas of work as we focus on today’s challenges, as well as those we will face tomorrow. And yes, we will also be reducing our headcount significantly, seeking to ensure more money goes out to where it’s most needed.”
