President Trump is stepping up where weak European leaders have failed. After meeting with Putin in Alaska on Friday, Trump invited Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to the White House for Monday peace talks. This is real leadership in action.
Trump knows how to make deals when others cannot. The Alaska summit with Putin laid important groundwork even though no agreement was reached yet. Now Trump will hear directly from Zelenskyy about what Ukraine really needs to end this bloody war.
For too long, Europe has sat on the sidelines while Americans pay the bills. Trump has rightfully criticized European nations for their weak response to this crisis. They failed to broker peace talks and left America to clean up their mess.
Zelenskyy praised Trump for taking charge of the situation. He called their Saturday phone conversation long and substantive. The Ukrainian leader knows Trump gets results where Biden and European weaklings could not.
This war never should have started under Biden’s failed leadership. Putin saw American weakness and took advantage of it. Now Trump must fix another disaster left by the previous administration.
Trump understands that America must lead from strength. He is not afraid to talk tough with Putin while also supporting our allies. This is how real presidents handle foreign policy crises.
European leaders are finally being forced to step up. Trump briefed them Saturday morning about his Putin meeting. They can no longer hide behind American protection without doing their fair share.
Monday’s White House meeting could be the turning point this war needs. Trump has the skills and backbone to broker real peace. America deserves a president who puts results over politics and strength over weakness.
