The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Trump had a very positive meeting with Zelenskyy, whose country is fighting a tough and noble fight against Russia. Trump is going to speak to Putin to see if he can bring the war to an end, but in the meantime, the U.S. will try to provide Ukraine with additional Patriot air defense systems.

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Zelenskyy had a long and productive meeting with Trump where the first priority was conveying the need to protect Ukraine's skies from Russian attacks on infrastructure. Ukraine is prepared to buy these systems if the U.S. is unable to donate them.
