President Donald Trump is holding hastily arranged talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a host of European leaders — a rarity at the White House — as he seeks to negotiate an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Here are the takeaways so far.

Trump shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near those negotiations.

You've already failed in your reporting. Trump is not holding talks; leaders from across Europe showed up, uninvited, when they saw Trump's gross incompetence in Alaska.

Trump talked and talked and said nothing intelligent. Surprise. That meeting needed to have more determined dialogue from the European leaders. I don't see Putin paying any attention to this at all.

Trump got played, Europe strength is not in the military but in diplomacy! Zelensky showed that he can absorb instructions very well in very little time and be a real actor when it is required! Diplomacy requires to put emotions in the fridge and keep 'em there until neccessary!

If our (European) strength was military, we won’t need Alaska meetings, we won’t need US to solve Russia. Weak military and dependence on US is Europe weakness, it has to change.

Well, not dependence but taken for granted, but i think lesson is learned, regarding weakness i think it's important to keep supporting Ukraine which has to hold the lines for at least 3 more years while EU on the other side has to ramp up and turn industrial production towards military!

Sudden Storm @suddenstorm.bsky.social

Dependence, not just on military, but on technology as well. It’s bad to have US as ally, it’s fuckin bad. Europe need to cut ourselves from US not just for duration of Trump’s presidency, but forever.

That's what people in power in US don't get! Once Europe stands on its feet US gets middle fingered not only from EU, but from every country in the world which can not dump US for now because of not having a better choice to partner with! If played right EU can be the next leader of the free world!

Trump is holding ass kissing talks with Ukraine president Volosymyr Zelenskyy to try and get what he wants, to make himself more money. Trump is a businessman, not a politician. If there’s anything in it for him, then he’s on it. Trump must be stopped before it’s too late.
