Amid Trump’s war on immigrants, the Department of Public Education, Department of Justice and agencies too numerous to name, the President made one positive move: calling for an end to the war in Ukraine. Trump told reporters he had a “lengthy and highly productive” phone call with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, during which the leaders agreed to “immediately” start negotiations to end the war. The same day Trump and Putin spoke by phone, the new US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told America’s European allies, “…we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering.” In remarks before a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Hegseth said Kyiv joining NATO is “unrealistic” and hinted the US would no longer pick up Ukraine’s security tab, which is now at $175 billion. For the Trump White House, Ukraine is Europe’s headache. The new President has other priorities, namely sending ICE into schools, churches and neighborhoods to arrest immigrants, and confronting China. Meanwhile, Trump says he wants to restart nuclear arms control talks with Russia and China to cut nuclear budgets in half–a statement in a stark departure from Trump’s withdrawal from nuclear arms control treaties in the past. Join us as we discuss the outlines of a Putin-Trump-Zelinsky peace deal and the possibility of denuclearization.
