As Trump shows Zelenskyy the door, will Europe step up or buy more Russian gas than Ukraine aid?
Trump-Zelenskyy talks were called off after a live televised heated argument inside the Oval Office ahead of the formal structured bilateral talks. Zelenskyy was shown the door immediately and asked to return when he wanted peace and not an endless war. The much-talked-about rare minerals deal went off the table as well.
Trump blames the Ukrainian President for disrespecting the highest office of the United States and the American people. Zelenskyy instead goes live immediately on Fox News standing his ground and refusing to apologise.
Trump Administration insiders say that Trump was also upset with the fact that Zelenskyy wasn’t wearing a formal suit for the meeting, apart from showing arrogance and verbal attack in front of the media. Zelenskyy’s body language and eye rolling were telling on television.
This is a new never-seen-before diplomacy at play in the Trump 2.0 era. Is this an end of Rules-Based Order?
One thing however is clear: Putin emerges as the biggest........
