Trump's agenda may have Europe ‘swallowing medicine they weren't expecting'

Sky News Contributor Kosha Gada says conversations between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are being pushed by European leaders to focus on Ukraine's interests to be defended, and ensuring Europe's security isn't compromised. 'There's a lot that I think Trump and the Trump administration is working on that includes but extends beyond the Ukraine conflict,' Ms Gada said. 'Europeans kind of get boxed out a little bit … President Trump understands what they want, what their position is, but he is America first. 'When they diverge, he will be America first, and that means Europe will have to swallow some medicine that maybe they weren't expecting.'

‘Defies the United States': Anthony Albanese's decision to recognise Palestine scrutinised

Sky News contributor Kristin Tate discusses the deepening tension between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and US President Donald Trump after Australia made the decision to recognise Palestinian statehood. 'This declaration to recognise Palestine; it defies the United States and Israel, and it will only deepen the tension between Australia and the United States,' Ms Tate told Sky News host Chris Kenny. 'The state of the relationship between President Trump and Albanese; it's not just strained, it's nearly non-existent. "He [Anthony Albanese] has made repeated nasty comments towards Trump.'

Trump playing from ‘hand of strength' ahead of meeting with Putin

Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer says the expectations for Donald Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin on Friday are 'really high'. US President Donald Trump discussed his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, confirming a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine will likely include a land swap. 'The President, I think, is playing from a hand of strength this week,' Mr Spicer told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. 'Putin got the message that Trump was really serious now; that Trump had given him a lot of runway to get to a deal for peace – he hadn't taken it – and that Trump was really about to ratchet it up.'
