Trump and Zelensky Hit Reset

Playbook: “For Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, yesterday began with a diplomatic whirlwind. It ended with a great sigh of relief.”

“Hours of meetings in Washington — Zelensky with President Donald Trump; Trump with a coterie of Europe’s most powerful leaders; all of the above together in the Oval Office — culminated in a ‘breakthrough,’ in the words of NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte: Trump expressed a willingness to participate in security guarantees for Ukraine.”

“On the international stage, that alone amounts to a new dawn not only for the relationship between the U.S. and Ukraine, but also between Zelensky and Trump — and America’s with some of its closest transatlantic allies.”
