President Trump is getting praise, from European leaders at least, for his efforts to end the war in Ukraine via a full peace deal. This follows his meeting last Friday with Russian dictator/President Vladimir Putin, in which Trump had initially planned to broker a ceasefire in the 3½ year-old war. 

Despite all that praise accompanied by Trump’s desire for the Nobel Peace Prize, analysts and pundits largely agree there was not much substance to come out of Monday’s White House confab with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy and seven of his closest European supporters (see center column).

Or will Putin give in to Trump’s peacemongering charms and reach an agreement with Zelenskyy during a “trilat”?
