Weekly Update - 3.2.25
Good morning, and welcome to our Weekend Update. On Friday, President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the White House. Rather than work toward peace, Zelenskyy's words and actions indicate he is not interested in ending this conflict. Is there something wrong with seeking peace—especially when the U.S. can broker it in a way that serves Ukrainian interests? Instead of asking the American people to fork over another $150-200 billion for trench warfare, with thousands more lives lost, only to be in the same place a year from now, we should be pushing for an end to the killing and destruction. Zelenskyy seems more interested in being a war hero than a peacemaker. Putin is a bad actor—he will get what’s coming to him—but the priority should be ending this war. No president has been tougher on Russia than President Trump. He stopped the Nord Stream Pipeline, imposed strong sanctions, and projected real strength on the world stage. This war would never have started if Biden hadn’t created a vacuum of leadership and displayed such obvious weakness. That’s exactly what emboldens real bullies. Strength stops them—weakness invites them. Click here or below to watch President Trump's press briefing yesterday evening.
