During an opening exchange, Trump and Zelensky struck a warmer tone than their last Oval Office encounter in February, which devolved into a televised showdown that alarmed European allies. Zelensky, who was chided last time for not sufficiently thanking American officials for their support, expressed his gratitude repeatedly at the start of the meeting. He also received compliments on the outfit he wore—after being criticized last time for not wearing a suit to the White House.
Trump sounded optimistic notes at the start of Monday’s meeting and said he would work with both sides on a permanent resolution to the war, and that he didn’t see the need for a temporary cease-fire.
One of the main topics on Monday will be what security guarantees Ukraine would receive as part of any deal to end the fighting and prevent Russia from attacking again. Asked what security guarantees he needs, Zelensky replied, “Everything.” Trump said the U.S. would be involved in some capacity, alluding to a NATO-like arrangement led by Europe. “And we’ll help them out with that,” he said. “I think it’s very important to get the deal done.”
As well as dispelling the specter of his February visit to the White House, Zelensky faces another major challenge: trying to retain Trump’s support for his country’s defense against Russia without agreeing to Moscow’s territorial proposals for ending the war.

Interesting times.
So Zeke wore a suit this time?
Who complimented him?
The blind squirrel at the WSJ found a nut and left a nutshell.
President is the adults anoung spoiled children.
It appears Trump is accepting security guarantees for Ukraine. Pure common sense. It’s what I have been saying for 3 years here. It’s finally happening.
Whomever did, probably doesn’t work there anymore.
Yep, put a few nuke warheads aimed at Russia in Ukraine, that will do it.
Why? So Ukraine can then sell them to the highest bidder?
Trump is optimistic despite Belarusian dictator Lukashenko warning Belarusians to prepare for war. That could lead to Belarus’ military to rebel.
Interesting times.

Trump puts these leaders out in the open in the WH for public statements of cooperation, which is very special because it sets the stage before retreating into private session to deal with the sundry divisive and seemingly intractable issues. If nothing else comes of it, no one can fault Trump for his historic transparent peace effort where the U.S is again clearly recognized as the center of power in the free world.
They'd have to take control of them first.
Don't pick up a newspaper or listen to the TV.
Who complimented him?
