Leading up to a crucial meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, President Trump spent the morning criticizing his detractors and those who had expressed doubts about his actions.
Following a display of support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, including a red carpet, a jet flyover, and a ride in the presidential limousine, many Ukrainians were concerned that the American president's relationship with the Russian leader had been rekindled.
European leaders, alarmed by President Trump's potential support for land swaps in Ukraine, rallied behind President Zelensky. This move appeared to have been successful in achieving their objectives.
The meeting between Zelensky and Trump at the White House was more amicable than their previous encounter in February. However, it did not produce any specific assurances.
President Trump has presented himself as a global peacemaker. His involvement has helped to resolve some conflicts, while his role in others is less defined.

The red carpet for Putin? Seriously? That sends the wrong message to the world about American values.

Let’s hope that Trump’s meetings translate into real progress down the line for both Ukraine and Europe.

We need a leader who can talk to both sides, and it seems Trump is trying to do just that.
