"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to advance peace talks, noting in a joint press conference that a proposed 20-point peace plan is now 90% agreed, while Trump cautioned that one or two very thorny issues remain unresolved, with territorial questions still proving the most difficult obstacle. When a reporter asked Trump about his call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he insisted that the Russian strongman was very generous in his feeling towards Ukraine succeeding and had offered a low-cost energy sale if a resolution is met."
"Let's be clear, however, two things first, and we'll dig into it in a moment, there's still some very thorny issues' that need to be resolved, but secondly, let's just take that comment there from President Trump, Lemire began. No, I don't think Russian President Vladimir Putin is invested in Ukraine's success. The co-host continued: He's the one who invaded in the first place. He's the one still with aims to conquer it, Lemire guffawed."
"And I don't know if we have the footage or not, but there is, Katy, as Trump was saying, that there was a cutaway shot of Zelensky's reaction, and he almost burst out laughing. He just couldn't believe what he was hearing. Producers rolled the clip of Zelensky breaking into a smile as Trump made the remark. Co-host Katy Kay then cut in, adding that the Ukrainian leader was trying very hard to be the diplomat."
President Donald Trump claimed that Russia wants Ukraine to succeed and said Vladimir Putin offered low-cost energy sales if a resolution is reached. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and said a proposed 20-point peace plan is about 90% agreed, though Trump warned one or two thorny issues—especially territorial questions—remain unresolved. Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly undercut the talks with a phone call to the White House before Zelensky arrived. Morning Joe co-host Jonathan Lemire laughed at Trump's claim, called Putin the invader, and noted Zelensky’s incredulous reaction while a co-host stressed that the problem is Russia.
