European fury over Trump's Ukraine peace talks

Daily Mail  

Top European diplomats have expressed their fury over Trump's proposed peace talks with Russia over the fate of Ukraine. After a 90-minute phone call with Putin on Wednesday, Trump's first since returning to power, the US president said he expected to meet the Russian leader in Saudi Arabia for Ukraine peace talks - sparking fears Kyiv would be frozen out. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held talks in Kyiv on Wednesday on granting Washington access to Ukraine's rare earth deposits in return for security support. Kyiv's European backers are terrified that Trump could force Ukraine into a bad peace deal that will leave them facing an emboldened Putin - while fronting the lion's share of costs for post-war security.
