After a week of historic summits on the future of Ukraine, will the president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, have to trade land for peace? Diplomatic editor Patrick Wintour reports. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus
European leaders visited the White House on Monday, where President Trump had an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Coming just days after Trump's Alaskan summit with Vladimir Putin, many questions still remain: what will it take to negotiate an end to the war? And what do “security guarantees” look like for Ukraine, for Europe, and even for Russia? Former NSC advisor to President George W. Bush and Beacon Global Strategies managing director Michael Allen about the territory demands from Russia, European leaders pushing for Ukraine's security guarantees, and the historic peace talks being shepherded by the Trump administration. One week into President Trump's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., and Democrats continue to push back, arguing that crime data suggests the President's actions in the nation's capital are unnecessary and that violence is not "out of control." Mayor Muriel Bowser has called the administration's actions "unsettling and unprecedented." Rafael Mangual, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and member of the Council on Criminal Justice, joins to discuss President Trump's actions, what is next for the city, and why he says crime statistics don't always reflect reality.

The White House says that Vladimir Putin told President Trump that he would meet with the man whose country Russia invaded, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It comes as Trump is ruling out sending U.S. troops to Ukraine and also signaling it would be impossible for Ukraine to get Crimea back.

In this episode, Bill and National Security Analyst Joe Cirincione discuss a historic meeting at the White House with multiple world leaders uninvitedly uniting to support Ukrainian President Zelensky and sway President Trump to maintain the alliance commitments to Ukraine. The episode delves into the strategic maneuvering used by European leaders to manipulate Trump through flattery and offers, highlighting how these tactics have momentarily shored up Western support for Ukraine. The discussion extends to the implications of potential US troop involvement, and the complexities surrounding the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO. Plus a brutal assessment of the Putin's Alaska Summit with Trump. Additionally, the episode touches on other geopolitical hot spots, notably the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the potential shift in public and political sentiment against Netanyahu's aggressive Gaza strategy. Finally, the conversation veers into the enduring threat of nuclear weapons, recommending Annie Jacobson's book 'Nuclear War: A Scenario' as a gripping read on the subject. Today Bill highlights the work of The Ploughshares, an organization committed to eliminating the threat of nuclear weapons.

President Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska, where the Russian leader proposed that if Ukraine agrees to give up some territory, a peace plan could be settled on. This week, President Trump welcomed back Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European heads of state at the White House in order to discuss how to end the war. The European leaders in attendance included: French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Rebekah Koffler, former senior intelligence analyst with the US Defense Intelligence Agency and the author of a best-selling book, "Putin's Playbook: Russia's Secret Plan to Defeat America.", who says any permanent peace plan could still be a long time away.

Straight off the back of the Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump hosted Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House as he pushes for an end to the war in Ukraine.The last time they met in the Oval Office, it ended in an argument in front of the world's media. It was a friendlier encounter this time, with Zelensky handing a letter to Donald Trump from his wife to the First Lady, Melania Trump. It was soon followed by a meeting of major European leaders, all of whom travelled to Washington in solidarity with the Ukrainian president.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/45lNva0 Analyzing a Flat Market and the Impacts of International Events In this Monday edition of Dividend Cafe, the host discusses the relatively stagnant state of the DOW, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, attributing this to ongoing events such as the meeting between President Trump, European leaders, and Ukrainian President Zelensky, and the upcoming Jackson Hole meeting with Chairman Powell.

In this episode, the hosts express concern over what they view as Donald Trump's "major risk" in inviting European and Ukrainian leaders to the White House to discuss peace. They argue that this move, while potentially leading to a peace deal, could also backfire if the talks fail, as they believe the "Euro weenies" and Ukrainian President Zelensky are unwilling to compromise. The hosts commend the Trump administration for shifting the financial burden of the conflict away from the American taxpayer and onto European allies, who are now funding weapons purchases. The discussion then turns to the symbolism of the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. The hosts interpret the public display of American military power—including stealth bombers and fighter jets—as a deliberate show of force and a warning to Russia. They argue that this was also a necessary step to counter media narratives, which they claim are still pushing the "Russia collusion hoax" and falsely portraying Trump as being controlled by Putin. A central point of concern for the hosts is a proposed security agreement for Ukraine, which they warn is a disastrous idea that would be tantamount to a NATO Article 5 guarantee, obligating the U.S. to defend Ukraine and potentially triggering World War III. They conclude by highlighting the long, complex history of the region's borders and the futility of U.S. involvement in a conflict they believe should be handled by the Europeans.
Michael dives deep into today's provocative poll question at Smerconish.com: "Should President Trump commit to deploying U.S. troops alongside those of European nations to provide security to Ukraine once hostilities have ended?" With major diplomatic moves unfolding and Europe pushing for security guarantees, Michael breaks down what's at stake, why this moment matters, and what the public really thinks. All this just after the "Alaska Summit" on Friday between Trump and Putin, and before Trump is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky in Washington, DC today.
