Trump, Putin, and Zelensky: A Conflict of Interests

Donald Trump wants to win a Nobel Peace Prize and so he’s desperate to end the war in Ukraine. 

He’ll be in Alaska later this week meeting the Russian president in the first face-to-face encounter the two men have had since Trump returned to the White House. 

The problem is the Ukrainian leader won’t be there and Trump’s talking about some ‘land-swapping’ between the Russian invaders and Ukraine. 

Today, international relations expert Rajan Menon on Trump’s theatrics and what the summit will really achieve.
