Trump-Zelenskyy meeting updates: U.S. to arrange Russia-Ukraine summit

“The prospect of a deal in the near future—I don’t see much indication that one is forthcoming,” Friedman said.

“The European leaders flying to Washington suggest they were, in a sense, panicked that Trump was going to give away the store to Putin, to sell out Zelenskyy, and so they wanted to put a stop to them,” he said.

“I’d like to see a deal. I’d like to see the war come to an end, but I don’t think we’re close. And I don’t really think this administration, this White House, really knows what it’s doing, to be frank, when it comes to getting these two countries on the same page, and outlining a deal that might be acceptable to both.”
