6:02Now PlayingIain Dale is joined by LBC's Washington Correspondent Simon Marks to analyse the high-stakes meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump.
Marks describes the press interactions as a prelude, with both Zelenskyy and other leaders eager to move into closed-door discussions.
He highlights divides during the session, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz confronting Trump over ceasefires in Ukraine and Emmanuel Macron advocating for European inclusion in talks with Putin.
Marks criticises Trump for echoing Putin’s positions on Crimea and NATO, while seemingly misunderstanding the war’s complexities.
He concludes that upcoming negotiations will be intricate and prolonged, with European leaders playing a critical role in guiding the discussion.
