Trump team admit ‘peace deal unlikely’ as anger builds at Putin

Trump team admit ‘peace deal unlikely’ as anger builds at Putin

Day 1,134.

Today, as Moscow resumes its bombardments on Ukraine, we discuss reports that it is dawning on Donald Trump’s administration that a swift ceasefire deal is not going to happen without action against the Russian economy. Then we return to that very subject, and ask: how much leverage does the White House have on sanctions, and is it declining?
