Donald Trump has announced that he will meet his friend/enemy Vladimir Putin and then Volodymyr Zelensky will be joining them for a three-way talk, hopefully in the same room rather than via Zoom or its equivalent.
Although one can’t be certain of how leaders regard each other, a number of people suggest that Putin sees Trump as a ‘useful fool’ and it’s unlikely that he will be happy with Zelensky.
If most people saw an elderly grandfather wandering around the roof of their home without any obvious purpose they would call for medical support and consider if they needed to be put into care and yet Donald Trump has done this and is now trying to stop a war.
If it must be an American to negotiate this, then why not Pope Leo XIV? I am sure that Trump, a Bible carrying and selling Christian, would have faith in him.
