What happened in the White House with Zelensky shows that the U.S. doesn’t have a constant policy or permanent allies,’ Chatham House senior fellow and former Knesset member Ksenia Svetlova said

Ukraine has considerable leverage in upcoming negotiations with Russia—as long as the United States stands by Kyiv and adopts a negotiating strategy that creates real dilemmas for Moscow. U.S. support for Ukraine has been cast into doubt in recent weeks after a flurry of comments by Trump administration officials offering unilateral concessions to Moscow and criticizing Ukraine.

When Donald Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts by a jury last May, there was one person in his courtroom entourage who wasn’t one of his lawyers, aides or family members: Steve Witkoff.

John Abraham admitted that he has anxiety about geo-politics and asked "What's wrong, what's happening with the world?"

While Trump has bent over backwards to expedite delivery of military aid to Israel in its war against Hamas, it has adopted a transactional approach with Ukraine in exchange for security guarantees.

After six weeks of calm in Gaza, Israel and Hamas would be under enormous pressure not to resume fighting. Negotiations over phase two would be hard—but they would happen. That was the idea, at least.

An Israeli attack on Iran remains a possibility even though Trump has said he prefers diplomacy. Iranian forces are on a high level of alert after previous Israeli strikes damaged their air defenses. Any attack on Iran's heavily concealed nuclear program would be far from guaranteed of success.
