Trump announces 'big deal' for Europe after Kremlin talks
US President Donald Trump announced a "big deal" after meeting a Kremlin envoy, saying it could affect all of Europe. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni demanded clarity on who represents the EU in Ukraine war negotiations. Trump met Kremlin negotiator Kirill Dmitrijew at the White House but gave no details. He did not meet Ukrainian representatives, who instead saw First Lady Melania Trump, who mediated a six-day ceasefire in Oleshky and advocated for a permanent truce. Jared Kushner said US talks in Brussels covered security guarantees for Ukraine and European security architecture. Trilateral US-Russia-Ukraine talks are planned in Abu Dhabi. Meloni urged EU leaders to decide on a unified negotiating mandate, warning Europe risks irrelevance without one.
