1)White House Meeting of Ukraine President Zelensky Ends in Disaster?: Last Friday, a press 'spray' at beginning of Oval Office meeting of Pres. Trump with Ukraine President Zelensky, --- to sign a $500 million deal for US investments in Ukraine's 'rare earth' mineral development, ---devolved into a shouting match of the two leaders and Vice President Vance. What happened?2)President Zelensky Asked Trump If Putin Can Be Trusted and About US Security Guarantees. Was That Disrespectful?: At the Oval Meeting with President Trump, Ukraine President Zelensky was being pressured to accept Trump's Peace Deal with Putin. But Zelensky expressed doubts, given Ukraine's past experience with Putin breaking 'cease fire' agreements. Did Zelensky's questioning Putin's trustworthiness in upholding cease fires disrespect President Trump?3)European Union Holds Emergency Summit to Discuss Trump's Behavior: The disrespectful 'scolding' that Trump gave to Ukraine's President Zelensky, ---plus Trump calling him a 'dictator' and 'not very successful comedian' ---has led EU leaders to fear that Trump is allying himself with Putin against democratic European states fighting Russian aggression. What will be the likely outcome?4)Israel Resumes Blockade of All Humanitarian Assistance to Gaza: This last Sunday, at the end of Phase One of the Gaza Cease Fire Agreement, Netanyahu ordered his Army to block any further shipment of humanitarian aid until Hamas releases all the remaining hostages. He also claimed Hamas is stealing the aid and using it to finance Hamas fighters. What do you think? Is this a correct understanding?Support the show
