After meeting with Putin on Friday in Alaska, Trump played a round of golf and invited Zelensky, Ursula von der Leye (EU’s leader), Macron and Merz (Germany) to the White House to agree to his terms and end the war. 
We’ll see. 
  • It’s their war, not his. 
He just wants to give peace a chance.
  • The Democrats spin is oh, he just wants a Nobel Peace Prize. They would rather let another million people die than support him.
  • While Trump wants peace, he also wants a piece—a piece of rare earth elements. Russia has them. Trump wants some...

Today, our municipalities are noted for 
  • punitive taxes, 
  • rampant crime,
  • abject poverty, 
  • failed schools, 
  • waste and 
  • corruption.

Trump on Russia-Ukraine: We'll skip ceasefire, go right to peace deal * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff

After a three-hour meeting with Russian President Putin in Alaska Friday, President Trump spent hours on the phone with world leaders overnight, leading to an announcement that he expects all parties in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war soon to agree to a peace agreement – skipping the usual step of a ceasefire.

In addition, Trump said he would host Ukrainian President Zelensky in the Oval Office Monday to discuss the deal.
