Italy’s prime minister Giorgia Meloni has called for an immediate summit between the US, Europe and allies to discuss how “to deal with the great challenges of today, starting with Ukraine.”

“Every division of the West makes us all weaker and favours those who would like to see the decline of our civilisation,” Meloni said in a statement.

A summit without delay is needed between the United States, European states and their allies to talk frankly about how we intend to tackle today’s major challenges, starting with Ukraine, which together we have defended in recent years.

 

Zelensky to appear on Fox News​


We just heard from US President Donald Trump as he left the White House.

And now we are expecting to hear from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Zelensky is set to be interviewed on US network Fox News at 18:00 ET (23:00 GMT).

We are listening in and will share the top lines from that interview as it happens.

 
Zelenskyy speaking in an interview with Fox News issues his thanks to the American people. “You helped us to survive”.But he stands by his words with Trump/Vance.“We have to be honest. And nobody wants to finish this war more than us”.

When asked by the Fox News host, Zelenskyy declines to apologise to Trump.“I think we have to be open and honest… I’m not sure we did something bad.”But he does suggest the conversation should have happened off camera


“It’s not good for both sides”, admits Zelenskyy about the “spat” with Trump.“But I can’t change Ukrainian attitudes to Russia. They are killers to us”.“It doesn’t mean we don’t want peace, it means we just want to recognise the reality”.

From the post:

He also claims that Zelensky wants to come back to the White House "right now" but that is not convenient for Trump.

What a completely and utterly vile and repellant human being Donald Trump is.

This is the apex of US diplomacy - really?
 
Vultures. Shameful. A brutal and insular return to early C20th U.S Isolationist policies. God Help America.
God Bless Billy Bragg:




Help save the youth of America
Help save them from themselves
Help save the sun-tanned surfer boys
And the Californian girls
When the lights go out in the rest of the world
What do our cousins say?
They're playing in the sun and having fun, fun, fun
'Til Daddy takes the gun away
From the Big Church to the Big River
And out to the Shining Sea
This is the Land of Opportunity
And there's a monkey trial on TV
A nation with their freezers full
Are dancing in their seats
While outside another nation
Is sleeping in the streets
Don't tell me the old, old story
Tell me the truth this time
Is the Man in the Mask or the Indian
An enemy or a friend of mine?
Help save the youth of America
Help save the youth of the world
Help save the boys in uniform
Their mothers and their faithful girls
Listen to the voice of the soldier
Down in the killing zone
Talking about the cost of living
And the price of bringing him home
They're already shipping the body bags
Down below the Rio Grande
But you can fight for democracy at home
And not in some foreign land
And the fate of the great United States
Is entwined in the fate of us all
And the incident at Tschernobyl proves
The world we live in is very small
And the cities of Europe have burned before
And they may yet burn again
And if they do I hope you understand
That Washington will burn with them
Omaha will burn with them
Los Alamos will burn with them
 
A good indicator of global tension is the price of gold.

Gold inflates with global insecurity.

Gold has rocketed since Russia illegally invaded Ukraine.

My prediction; gold will reach an all time high next week. 2% on opening of trading on Monday is my guess. 3%-5% on close at the end of the week and wild fluctuations in the interim.

Does DT have large gold holdings, one wonders? 🤔

I just caught a bit in the end. The interviewer asks (again) about 'can Zelenskyy salvage his relationship with Trump.'

He says, essentially: the important relationship is not the one between 2 presidents, congress, etc. The relationship is between the US people and the Ukrainian people.
 

Zelensky ends interview by saying 'We are thankful, and sorry for this'​

At the end of the interview, Bret Baier asks Zelensky if the relationship between him and Trump could be salvaged.

"Yes of course," Zelensky replies. "Because the relations are more than just two presidents."

He notes it is also about "historical relations" between the two countries, as well as "strong relations between our two people."

"That is why I began to thank your people from our people," Zelensky says. "Your people helped to save our people."

The interview ends with Zelensky saying: "We are thankful, and sorry for this," adding that Ukraine only wants to have strong relations with the US.

 
This is truly his 'Art of the Deal'. IMO
The problem is that he thinks life is a reality TV show under his direction.

He's had a sheltered, monied and cosseted life and has never had to worry about anything.

Even the multiple times he's been bankrupt have had no effect on him.

He's a convicted felon and head of state of the USA and in control of a massively powerful military with undeniably the most effective nuclear arsenal in history.

Donald Trump is completely detached from reality - anyone who thinks his behavior towards Mr Zelenskyy (along with his court jester Vance) is anything other than utterly shameful should hang their heads, quite frankly.

Again, like I said before, this will play out like the Dead Zone movie where Trump will be the architect of his own downfall. Just don't be around him when he falls!
