No, a US President, including Donald Trump, cannot unilaterally "give" Ukraine to Vladimir Putin. Ukraine is a sovereign nation, and only the Ukrainian government and its people can decide their future, including any territorial concessions

This week Trump's ICE fascists illegally kidnapped & deported a 19-year-old girl to Honduras despite a court order to keep her in the USA—while Trump himself pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, convicted of running Honduras "like a narco-state" & accepted millions in bribes from drug traffickers. smh.
