Trump got played by Putin. Again. He accepted Putinโs position on Ukraine as his own. Ukraine and Europe are now alone, needing to increase pressure on Russia and supporting its fight on the battlefield.
Itโs a terrible day for peace, security, and transatlantic relations.

For all Trumpโs talk that his meeting with Putin was โa 10โ, made โgreat progressโ and was โsuccessful,โ Putin didnโt budge an inch. His demandsโan end to Ukraineโs sovereignty and rolling back NATOโs eastward enlargementโremain unchanged. To maintain otherwise is delusional.

US blocks G7 push to tighten Russian oil price cap, Financial Times reports
The proposal was dropped after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly declined to support it.
"The US opposed a joint G7 effort to lower the $60-per-barrel price cap on Russian oil exports during last week's meeting of finance ministersโฆ
The mechanism was designed to limit the Kremlin's ability to finance its war against Ukraine."

โpoliticians must be honest with their voters: either we mobilize the necessary support for Ukraine to win, or we will have to mobilize you โ the citizens of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and beyond โ for military service in the years to come.โ

The value of the 1700+ nuclear weapons Ukraine gave away in 1994 was $2 trillion. Under the USSR, these weapons were aimed at the US. During negotiations, Ukraine offered to give them to America. Instead the US insisted they go to russia. We agreed because we trusted their promise to protect us.
