I am unable to think about the get together Putin is having in Moscow proper now. He would not should carry a finger — he invades a rustic, will get pushed again, after which sidles as much as an American President short-sighted sufficient to do that bidding for him, proper from our Oval Workplace. In the meantime, the ‘Artwork of the Deal’ man ended the day with out the mineral rights deal he stated could be good for our nation. Not an ideal day for anybody however Putin — or perhaps Xi Jinping.

President Trump and VP Vance’s therapy of President Zelenskyy doesn’t symbolize us as a nation and is disrespectful to Ukraine, our ally that Russia invaded. U.S. international coverage must be about democratic values — not this twisted safety racket that Trump needs to run.
