"The big picture: Trump, who Axios previously reported set a ceasefire as the goal of the talks, said "we didn't get there" after the meeting. Rubio on Sunday said both sides would have to make concessions, but refused to name any that Putin agreed to."

He reiterated that view on NBC's "Meet the Press," saying that he doesn't believe new sanctions would force Putin to accept a ceasefire."

What kabuki theater all of this nonsense is. Dummkopf Trumpf is simply buying time for ICC-indicted war criminals Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu to continue their horrendous offensives against the Ukrainians and the Palestinians. The Western press seems to be oblivious of this.

He could have gotten that Nobel peace prize he's been desperate for.
