At the center of President Trump's contentious plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war isn't peace: it's profit. Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with Russian officials to ensure U.S. businesses"and Trump's friends"are in position to make a killing once the war ends, according to an exhaustive Wall Street Journal report published Friday. "Russia has so many vast resources, vast expanses of land," Witkoff, who last week was busted coaching Russians on how to best suck up to the president, told The Wall Street Journal. Europe balked at President Trump's 28-point peace plan"which Witkoff drafted based on a Russian plan" arguing it was overly generous to Russia. The deal had Ukraine concede territory and cut its military capacity, effectively neutering the nation's sovereignty. The plan wasn't popular in America either, as it received significant pushback from the GOP.
