🚨 TRUMP-ZELENSKY-NATO MEETING WRAP-UP
At the White House, Trump met with Zelenskyy + 7 European leaders and laid out a path to END the war in Ukraine—with American security guarantees.
Here’s what it may mean for us all. 🧵👇
2/ This meeting came right after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin on Friday.
For the first time EVER, Putin signaled he’s willing to accept security guarantees for Ukraine—a huge breakthrough Trump secured.
3/ Trump’s message:
✅ America will help provide guarantees so Ukraine isn’t attacked again.
✅ Europe must shoulder the main responsibility.
✅ No blank checks, no forever wars.
Peace is possible. Vietnam, or worse, is not.

4/ European leaders admitted it:
👉 “In the past 2 weeks we’ve had more progress than in the past 3.5 years.” — Finnish President Stubb
Trump brought them to the table and they KNOW it.
5/ The big sticking point? Territory.
Putin wants Donbas and Crimea. Ukraine says no.
Trump: “Ultimately, only Zelenskyy & the people of Ukraine can decide.”
Thing is, that's putting Russia back where they were at the beginning of the war.
They took both those under Obama.
6/ German Chancellor Merz pushed hard for a cease-fire first.
Trump’s strategy? Skip the fake “pause button” and go directly to a final deal.
“Peace is within reach,” he told the leaders. His timeline? Just two weeks!
7/ The bombshell:
Putin agreed—for the first time ever—that Ukraine could get Article 5–like protection.
That means if Russia attacked again, the U.S. + Europe would treat it as an attack on ALL.
That’s effectively Putin giving up the reason he went to war in the first place.
8/ Meanwhile, Trump & Zelensky’s relationship has flipped.
✅ From tense showdowns earlier this year…
✅ To handshakes and friendly tones
✅ Zelensky even showed up in a suit!
It’s called building bridges to stop the bloodshed.
9/ Let’s be clear:
Biden gave us:
❌ A needless war
❌ Billions in blank checks
❌ No talks, no end in sight
Trump gave us:
✅ BIG Putin concessions
✅ Europe paying up
✅ Talks moving toward peace

10/ Bottom line:
In just a few days, Trump did more for peace in Ukraine than Biden did in 3.5 years.
This is the power of America First diplomacy.
History is being written—and Trump is leading it. 🇺🇸
