This is an I-Heart podcast.

We've solved seven wars, seven wars,

wars that were unsolvable, wars that couldn't be negotiated or done.

We've done, the U.S. has done seven of them.

The one that I thought would be easiest would be because of my relationship

with President Putin. But he's let me down. He's really let me down. It was going to be Russia

and Ukraine. But we'll see how that turns out. Yeah, what's the next step on that? I'd love to

know that's Donald Trump. He is standing right next to Carr Sturmer, the Prime Minister of Great Britain right now.

And they're doing a press conference as Trump is over in England.

And we thought we would talk to Jim Tankersley.

And welcome back to the Armstrong and Getty show.

He knows a lot about what's going on with European politics.

He's the Berlin Bureau Chief for the New York Times.

Jim Tankersley, welcome back. How are you?

Hey, my pleasure to be back. I'm doing great.

Any news out of Great Brittany you think is worth talking about to start off with?

I mean, I think what we just heard the president talking about is what he's been saying for a while.

He really did think that this conflict was

going to be a lot easier to broker a peace deal on. He keeps expressing varying degrees of

annoyance with Vladimir Putin for not coming to the table and broker a deal. But he's also not,

you know, we didn't hear him say any new big things that he's going to do to put the pressure on.

So I think what we're hearing from, from President Trump is what a lot of Europe has been kind of hearing and a little bit wary about for weeks and months now, which is kind of just like the status quo.
