Trump’s “Two‑Minute Takeover” of the Arms Meeting
When Donald Trump hinted that he could spot Putin’s intentions in a literal two minutes, the world buzzed. “It’s a feel‑out meeting,” Trump told reporters, suggesting the big man in Moscow might already be ready to wrap up the war in Ukraine.
What the White‑House Whisper Said
“We’ll be with Vladimir Putin and, honestly, in the next two minutes I’ll know if there’s a deal,” Trump sneezed from the Oval Office. He added, in a tone likened to a superhero mercilessly demanding justice, “You’ve got to end this war—you’re going to end it.”
Speaking openly, Trump warned that the conversation could turn “good, but it might be bad.” He made it clear his sole purpose was to finish a conflict that he said was surgically” pulled from a war started by somebody else.
Russian Take‑Back: “We’re Normalizing”
In response, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov buzzed back, promising “normalisation of bilateral relations between the two countries.” Sounds like diplomacy is on the way, right? Maybe.
Zelensky Runs Bypass
Trump claimed that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky won’t attend Friday’s meeting, saying he “would put the two of them in a room.” Trump joked, “He could go, but he’s been meeting other folks for three and a half years, and nothing happened.” Classic “watch this space” moment.
Getting Everyone in the Loop
Rumors mount that Trump’s team will have a quick phone chat with EU leaders and Zelensky on Wednesday to prep for the Kremlin showdown. “We’re talking with folks we get along with very well,” Trump said.
He also voiced frustration at past talks that just led to missiles flying into Kyiv. “I’d love a ceasefire, a deal that works for both sides—that’s what it takes to tango.” He promises a final dance move before the curtain falls.
