| Trump has done well so far and credit for that, but this is only beginning: will the ceasefire even hold? And what now for the Gazans in their devastated homes? But this isn't about Gaza, it concerns the appalling way he's mishandled negotiations over Putin's vile invasion of Ukraine. The latest meeting of Trump and Zelenskyy, as reported in the Telegraph and the FT, was an absolute disaster. In an angry meeting, Trump demanded that Ukraine accept Putin’s peace terms or face destruction. He went on to shout and swear, to throw aside Ukrainian maps of the battlefield and pressured Zelenskyy to surrender the Donetsk region to Russia. He also echoed Putin’s talking points, despite their contradicting his own recent assessment that Moscow was a “paper tiger.” What isn't clear is how far he went in this: did he accept Putin's claim about the supposed root causes of the war, which included demanding Zelenskyy resign so he could install a puppet regime and reduce Ukraine's armed forces to next to nothing? But - and this is extraordinary - he went on to deny the reports overnight and called for a ceasefire along the current front line! What a way to conduct a foreign policy! |
