How is the Russia-Ukraine peace process going?
This may be the most memorable moment of Trump 2.0 so far.1
Zelenskyy's body language after 8:35 when Trump says, "They respect me!" is particularly notable.
Trump posted this afterward:
So, it seems like Peace President Trump’s road to ending the Russia-Ukraine War isn’t going quite so smoothly.
Zelenskyy had probably already decided his chances of getting aid from Europe is to distance himself from Trump as quickly as possible. He also left Washington without signing that minerals deal Trump wanted which, if implemented, would have effects similar to those the draconian terms in the Versaillles Treaty had on Germany.
