Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Just Trump saying he talked to Putin for 90 minutes, drove the global benchmark crude oil price down at one point. So you can see where the market is going. They smell this. What is Trump doing with both the Russians and Putin? With Putin, he basically said: Well, no NATO in Ukraine, and you’re going to be able to keep some of the territory. Who goes into a negotiation for a casino by saying I’m going to let you keep this part of the land that you need even though you’re going bankrupt and I’m going to hire all your staff?Healy: No, man, you’re slipping them cards left and right.Friedman: Exactly. So basically, in Trump’s own terms, this is not a way to negotiate with pre-emptive concessions. Also, to tell the leverage you have on your side, Zelensky and the European Union, “I got this, you guys stay home.”Healy: Tom, I really wonder if part of Trump and Vance’s worldview is actually that history doesn’t repeat itself. That if you have the right strongmen in power, that somehow you can take a country like Germany, and if you have the right populist leaders in place, you can keep a lid on the really dangerous neo-Nazi elements, as long as you have everyone in your thrall.It feels like a command and control approach, but you know, you’ve been covering international relations for more than 40 years. It feels like the story, doesn’t end well, if you just ignore history, if you just believe so much in yourself as a kind of a godlike leader who could control events, to your point, you end up in World War I.You end up in places that you really don’t want to be.Friedman: Well, there were three major leaders on the world stage who wanted to be president for life.
