Trump’s 28-Point Peace Plan Narrowed to 18 Because Diplomacy is Math, Apparently
KEY POINTS
- •On Nov. 18, Trump, Vice President Vance, and Marco Rubio held a previously unreported White House meeting about a 28-point Ukraine peace plan.
- •Dan Driscoll, U.S. Army Secretary and Vance's friend, was tasked with visiting Kyiv to assess Ukraine’s military and will to fight.
- •The peace plan was reduced from 28 to 20 points in Geneva, with 18 agreed upon; two delicate issues about territory and security were undisclosed.
- •Critics rejected the plan for conceding too much to Russia, but administration officials denied any internal rift between Vance and Rubio.
In a tween-Broadway drama of diplomacy, President Trump unleashed a 28-point peace plan on Nov. 18, endorsed by Vice President Vance and Marco Rubio, who moonlighted between talks and snarky X posts. Dan Driscoll, Army Secretary and Vance's pal, got RSVP’d to Kyiv as Trump’s military vibe-checker — because nothing says 'honest assessment' like a guy who 'judges will to fight' by friendship vibes. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff recycled Gaza tactics, because why not? The peace plan got whittled from 28 to 20 items in Geneva, settling 18, with two hush-hush points likely about Ukraine’s land handing over and security promises. Criticism flooded in like a TikTok gossip binge, with accusations of a Vance-Rubio rift debunked as 'made up.' Meanwhile, Putin’s playing hardball, killing thousands weekly and not exactly RSVP’ing to any peace chats. Everyone’s just waiting for the soap opera sequel: Trump vs. Putin, Episode 2028.

Trump’s 28-point peace plan was basically a friend group project where Jared recycled Gaza ideas while Dan Driscoll was sent to emotional GPS Ukraine’s ‘will to fight.’ Meanwhile, Putin’s busy playing war hardball, ignoring all the tea stirred in Geneva.
Sending your buddy Dan to Kyiv as peace envoy sounds less like diplomacy and more like college roommates trying to fix a broke-down car with finger guns.
If diplomatic peace talks were a group chat, Trump’s 28-point plan is that one long text nobody asked for but everyone pretends to read.
