Engagement with Global Leaders

Discussions on the importance of engaging with leaders like President Putin have been emphasized, especially in light of past negotiations that failed due to inadequate security guarantees. The speaker highlights the need for strong deterrence capacities to ensure peace agreements are respected, suggesting that the U.S. should not rule out future military engagements. The speaker also mentions that European allies expect U.S. support in dealing with such global threats. This new context calls for the U.S. to seek innovative solutions for diplomacy that might lead to lasting peace.
