In a move only 2025 politics could script, President Trump assured the world that no American boots will tread the Ukrainian border — because, of course, "I'm just trying to stop people from being killed." After cozying up to Putin and Zelensky in full diplomatic shuffle mode, Trump declared he wants to "end it" with a handshake tango, pun fully intended. The US will apparently play referee while European countries form the first line of defense in Ukraine’s protection squad. Because nothing screams peace like a meeting that ends with "two to tango."
