#Trump #UkraineWar #Russia

US President Donald Trump defended special envoy Steve Witkoff after a leaked recording appeared to show him advising a Russian official on how to appeal directly to the president. Trump called Witkoff’s actions “standard dealmaking” as he continues pushing for a peace deal that critics say leans toward Moscow’s interests. The leaked call comes just days after the U.S. 28-point peace plan draft surfaced, raising questions about Witkoff’s repeated visits to Russia—and his lack of engagement with Ukraine.

When pressed by reporters, President Trump said he hadn’t heard the audio, but brushed off concerns, calling Witkoff’s actions ‘standard dealmaking.’ According to Trump, Witkoff is doing exactly what a negotiator should — ‘selling the plan’ to both Russia and Ukraine. For supporters, this is proof the administration is simply playing hardball diplomacy. For critics, it looks like a U.S. envoy aligning himself with one side of the conflict.

The audio, recorded last month, captures Witkoff laying out what he calls the ‘best path’ to persuade Trump. It emerged just days after the U.S. draft peace plan — a 28-point framework — became public, a document critics say leans heavily toward Russia’s strategic interests.

Drop your thoughts in the comments. Do you think this was standard diplomacy, or something more concerning?
