Summary

European leaders visited the White House on Monday, where President Trump had an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Coming just days after Trump’s Alaskan summit with Vladimir Putin, many questions still remain: what will it take to negotiate an end to the war? And what do “security guarantees” look like for Ukraine, for Europe, and even for Russia? Former NSC advisor to President George W. Bush and Beacon Global Strategies managing director Michael Allen about the territory demands from Russia, European leaders pushing for Ukraine’s security guarantees, and the historic peace talks being shepherded by the Trump administration. One week into President Trump's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., and Democrats continue to push back, arguing that crime data suggests the President's actions in the nation's capital are unnecessary and that violence is not "out of control." Mayor Muriel Bowser has called the administration's actions "unsettling and unprecedented." Rafael Mangual, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and member of the Council on Criminal Justice, joins to discuss President Trump's actions, what is next for the city, and why he says crime statistics don't always reflect reality. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless" on Outkick, Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
