No deal as Zelensky heads back to the White House
WASHINGTON - Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine on Day 1. But, after over 200 days in, the US President still has no deal. The Art of No Deal was on full display in Alaska as Trump met his Russian counterpart. The over three-hour meeting ended with no agreement on peace talks or a ceasefire. Trump will try with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, who heads to the White House on Monday. Putin met with top officials in Moscow to give feedback on what was discussed. He told his executive the meeting was "timely and useful' and brought them closer to necessary decisions. As always, Trump labelled the meeting as a success, but on Fox News, admitted the deal's not done. On Monday, the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky will be back in the White House. His last visit to the Oval Office was far from ideal. Whether the tone and demeanor of the meeting will be different on Monday, remains to be seen. Analysts say despite Trump taking the initiative in the conflict, the US is actually coming out as the loser. Zelensky and Putin remain poles apart. Russia wants Ukraine permanently excluded from NATO and wants to hold on to vanquished territory. While, Zelensky will not give assurances of not joining any blocks and is demanding the return of Crimea and the Donbas region.
