It is day 211 of the second Trump administration and today Ukraine's President Zilinski and leaders of several key European allies came to the White House. It is clear that they were there to support Zalinski in his effort to end the war that Russia began as well as to help him defend Ukraine's interests. But it also appeared to be an attempt to damage control after last week's Alaska summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.At one point today, Trump was caught on a hot mic talking about Putin's inten ...

Well, it was another successful day in the White House for the president. That president was, of course, Voteir Zalinski. President Zullinski, the most heroic European leader of the 21st century, went to the White House today surrounded by seven other European lead leaders, including five European heads of state to prevent Donald Trump, from doing something crazy.That was the whole purpose of their trip. And once again, President Silinski and the European leaders succeeded. Donald Trump did nothing crazy to ...

The European leaders jumped at the opportunity to come here to Washington because they wanted to show solidarity with President Zinsky of Ukraine which was critically important especially after the disastrous meeting in Anchorage last Friday. So, um I do think the European leaders are very nervous, uh given the change in in the tone and the statements coming out of Donald Trump's mouth over the past several days where he was first interested in a ceasefire and said that Russia was going to have severe conse ...

Brand new details about the meeting that just ended between Donald Trump, Vladimir Zalinski, and European leaders. According to the New York Times, Donald Trump paused that meeting to make a phone call to Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin says the call lasted 40 minutes.It comes after Trump pared Putin talking points in his earlier meeting with President Zinski, questioning whether a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine is necessary to help end the war in Ukraine. >> I don't think you need a ceasefire. I know tha ...

Moderator of Meet the Press, Kristen Welker, just sat down exclusively with French President Emanuel Mcronone just moments ago following those lengthy peace talks at the White House today. She pressed him on that hot mic moment with President Trump that we saw earlier and whether a ceasefire needs to be reached to hold the trilateral meeting and the role French and American troops could play in the effort to maintain peace. Take a listen.President Trump was overheard on a microphone talking to you and he sa ...

Uh, we want to bring in New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker. He's also an MSNBC political analyst and Atlantic staff writer David Graham is also still with us. Peter, that um that largely resembled a lot of the cabinet meetings that we've seen Donald Trump hold over the years with his cabinet officials where they praise him, but this was, you know, leaders of state doing it.Um, in some cases putting a lot of flattery on on Donald Trump's plate. How do you read what we just witnessed. ...

all of the wonderful things that took place today. We've had a very successful day thus far and important discussions as we work to end the killing and stop the war in Ukraine. We're all working for the same goal.Very simple goal. We want to stop the killing, get this settled. I've uh just had the uh honor of being with President Zalinski and all of the uh discussions that we've had. We covered a lot of territory and uh I spoke indirectly with President Putin today.We're going to call President Putin right ...

Last week, you warned of what you called severe consequences if a 30-day ceasefire or any type of ceasefire were not agreed to by Russia. Will there be severe consequences. Does that change.Because I don't think you need a ceasefire. You know, if you look at the six deals that I settled this year, they were all at war. I didn't do any ceasefires.And I know that it might be good to have, but I can also understand strategically why well, you know, one country or the other wouldn't want it. you have a ceasefir ...

That's what struck me, uh, Aean, the the president repeating numerous times that he doesn't think a ceasefire is necessary anymore to make progress. But if you heard some of the other leaders in that room, Chancellor Mert suggesting, I don't think we could have a a trilateral meeting or take this to that next step without it. Uh, calling it a necessity.President Mcronone of France dictating that as well. Uh, it's a a truce is a necessity, he said. Let's start there.Yeah, I think it's smart to put your finge ...
