President Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for talks at the White House Friday, with the U.S. leader signaling he’s not ready to agree to sell Kyiv a long-range missile system that the Ukrainians say they desperately need.

Zelenskyy gets his one-on-one with Trump a day after the U.S. president and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a lengthy phone call to discuss the conflict.

In recent days, Trump had shown an openness to selling Ukraine long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles, even as Putin warned that such a move would further strain the U.S.-Russian relationship. But following Thursday’s call with Putin, Trump appeared to downplay the prospects of Ukraine getting the missiles, which have a range of about 995 miles (1,600 kilometers).
 
Called it.

Trump talked to Putin, Putin stroked his ego a little, proposal over.

Trump is the biggest marshmallow in geopolitical history. He makes Chamberlain look like Churchill.
 
Does he still want Zelensky to announce an investigation into Hunter Biden? You know, he's real stickler for rooting out corruption.
 
Putin plays Trump like a fiddle again. Or maybe Trump is colluding with him. It now seems very likely that they are just doing all this for show and have their own plans.

When the boss speaks, Trump listens.

Trump is going to be played and embarrassed by Putin yet again. Doesn't he ever get tired of the blatant manipulation of him by Putin? Rubio needs to grow a pair and 'splain to Trump what Putin is doing

Putin probably told him that the Tomahawks aren't going to change the outcome in Ukraine but would only escalate conflict between NATO and Russia. Best not to go there.
 
I figured Trump's recent pro-Ukraine turn wouldn't last. In the end, Trump was always going to be the same craven cowardly cuck he's always been.

Oh well. It was nice while it lasted for a couple months.

No, Putin told him he should have got the Nobel Peace Prize and Trump went all squishy.

Yeah, let's keep this war endlessly bogged down and let Putin do the escalating.

Its kind of weird Trump needs to rely on the Russian Premier for intel though.
 
Trump is just doing the old okie doke!

He's mentioning trade again, so he sees some grift on the horizon.
 
Typical Trump......flip flop flip flop. Putin will embarass him again in Budapest . He is such a weak person...its all about him

Reagan would despise Trump and MAGA.

We’ll see what happens. ;)
 
Was there ever any doubt?

Taco is as Taco does.

Exactly...do you think TACO wants to go to Hungary and see Putin's "unhappy face?" He wants to go hang with his fellow strong men, "be one of the guys".

He's prolonging what he knows has to come. He wants to maintain his BFF status with Putin, but there's no way he can if he actually commits more to Zelensky and more sanctions on Russia. He cares more about how it looks, and his stature with the strong men...he's not ready to give that up.

That does not mean it will not happen.

Putin will not stop causing issues until he gets dealt with.
