Security expert analyzes Trump’s new alignment with Putin

Season 2025 Episode 228 | 5m 58s

Efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine are shifting next week to the White House, where Trump will meet with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy. Their talks come as Trump aligns himself with Putin, dropping his demand for a ceasefire and backing a comprehensive peace deal hours after meeting with Russia’s president in Alaska. John Yang speaks with security expert Andrea Kendall-Taylor for analysis.
