Trump to meet Putin and Zelensky- Trump47

BBC News: Reports that President Trump is to meet both Putin of Russia and Zelensky of the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

One presumes that the Russians want to meet Trump only, while Trump will want a joint meeting with the other two.  The Russians could be playing Trump again, does the Trump Oval get that, will Putin agree to a ceasfire, on what conditions, will any conditions be a negative consequences for the Ukraine on the ground.  TIME will TELL.



Trump HAILS talks in Moscow with his Special Envoy - Trump47

Guardian: Reports " Trump hails ‘great progress’ after Witkoff meets Putin for talks on Ukraine....US president calls meeting ‘highly productive’ amid unconfirmed reports on halt to long-range strikes "

Lets Get Real:

Good talks in White House talking point, but the secondary sanctions will still go in to place on Friday, as far as we know, the article states that there might be a deal to halt long range strikes, the truth will be in the pudding.   Thus far Putin's Kremlin has played Trump like a fool,  it could be that Trump is praising the talks while still keeping the sanctions on board, thus his secondary sanctions in India.  Of course Trump could fold and allow himself to be played, and not place the extreme secondary sanctions on Russia, the US Senate Bill is on the extreme side, we shall see on Friday.

Trump's Special Envoy meets with President Putin - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 9.59am post that US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has meet with President Putin before the deadline set by President Trump.

Lets Get Real:

The deadline for a Ceasefire in the Ukraine is this Friday, the question is will Putin play Trump again, agree to a deal then break it and will Trump be tough with Putin, POTUS really wants that nuclear peace prize, the Nobel Committee gave it to Obama for doing NOTHING, just getting elected President.  Interesting hours and days ahead.
