Never underestimate the influential power of a first lady.
With that in mind, the Oval Office meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky clearly took place on a much more collegial, and presidential, level today, as the Ukrainian leader presented Trump with a letter from his wife to give to Melania Trump.
It was a gesture, but perhaps a very important one, as Trump went on to give some of his strongest assurances yet that the United States would not abandon Ukraine. “It’s never the end of the road,” he said, when asked if the summit should end with a resolution, one way or another.
While Trump made it clear that it was Europe's burden to play the lead role in securing any peace, his pledge to maintain US involvement was extremely important.
"They're the first line of defense, because they're there, in Europe," Trump said. "But we're going to help them. We're also going to be involved." / CNN
