On today's show, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European allies are anxious to find out what Donald Trump committed to at his summit with Vladimir Putin and are apprehensive that he’ll force Kyiv into making unpalatable concessions.
Trump will host Zelenskiy and several European leaders to set out terms for a potential peace deal, with the US expected to focus on territorial concessions demanded by Russia. Trump told leaders he’s open to US involvement on guarantees of Ukraine’s security.
