Commentary author, 3 times awarded the Pulitzer Prize Thomas Friedman doubts the White House's communicative suggesting that "two meetings between Trump's friend Steve Witkoff and Putin and a fewer telephone calls between Putin and Trump" should be adequate to "end the Russian invasion on reasonable terms for Kiev."
“Trump could not sale the hotel so rapidly unless he gave it distant for free,” the writer irons, while informing the president and vice president that if they ‘sell’ Ukraine to Putin ‘will forever be remembered as traitors of the basic value, which revived the U.S. abroad policy for 250 years — defending freedom from tyranny.”

Way to “end the killing”
Analysing the statements of the US administration, the commentator stresses that "The easiest way to “end killing” would be to leave Ukraine by the organization that started killingwhose army invaded Ukraine for completely fabricated reasons.”
Friedman points out that Putin Trump is only needed if he wants “something more than ending the killing” and suggests that the American leader is only useful to him due to the fact that he wants to “impose [...] post-war restrictions on Ukraine without further war losses”. Trump's getting them for him.
The commentator recalls that the U.S. president has sidelined European allies during negotiations with Putin, even though they have "against Trump's lies" spent more on arms and military equipment, economical aid and support for refugees from Ukraine than the United States.
Putin wants to weaken the US
The author besides recalls the opinion of the unnamed abroad Policy Analyst Kremlin, which Putin believes effectively manipulates the American leader. ‘Trump does not realize that Putin [...] wants to accomplish its main objective: weaken the global position of the US, destruct the alliance network primarily in Europe and destabilise the United States internallymaking the planet safe for Putin and Xi Jinping". They both want America to be locked in the Western Hemisphere, alternatively of “tacking 1 of them in Europe or Asia and the Pacific, as well as seeing Trump as their pawn who can supply it.”
Friedman notes that while Putin wants Ukraine with the government, “which is fundamentally the same as its neighbouring vassal Belarus, alternatively than Ukraine, which is independent as neighbouring Poland — a free marketplace democracy anchored in the European Union”, it is not known whether Trump wants “the Belarusian or Polish version”.
