Europe has a foreign policy problem. It does need to engage in these talks and doing so as 7 or 8 leaders just doesn't work. It makes it easy to work around Europe. So the EU should pick a special envoy - perhaps the fmr Finnish president Niinisto or a Draghi type to engage on behalf of Europe.
No formal "counter-proposal" from Europeans in Geneva - whose leaders instead agreed to try to dilute or amend US-Russian draft to keep Trump onside - but a list of demands on UA territory, size of army & EU control over frozen assets & sanctions

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed.
Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.

There he goes again
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

I wrote about Trump’s unhinged UN speech last week but that hardly holds a candle to him and Hegseth’s tag team performance for the Generals.

Hopefully Trump’s latest Ukraine flip flop where he has gone from Ukraine has no cards to they can win all their territory back with European support, not US support, will at least mean he isn’t actively supporting Putin’s side. We shall see.
