In recent joint appearances with Kash Patel, there appeared to be frustration by President Trump as the Director waxed philosophically about the excellence of his agency while the American electorate looked on with great suspicion.  Shortly thereafter came an announcement that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey would be joining the FBI leadership team as a Co-Deputy Director.

The current appearances by Director Patel follow the announcement of Bailey’s addition to the team.

President Trump called into Fox & Friends show this morning to explains some of the details within the Ukraine Peace Summit held at the White House with President Zelenskyy and European leaders.

There’s some interesting insight into the urgency, held by President Trump, as he describes talking about the need to stop the killing now, not next week.  President Trump notes he told the EU leadership, it is ridiculous to say meet again in a few days; thousands of people are dying each week.  Trump told them they need to get into action tonight.  WATCH:

Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio, continues to play a key role in both diplomacy and strategy for the goals and policies of President Trump.

Rubio was present for every moment of both the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.  Rubio outlines in this interview the goals and objectives of the next steps.  As the EU assembles the outlines for security guarantees to protect Ukraine moving forward, President Trump is organizing a bilateral meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy.

Hopefully, the Trump administration can set the table for Zelenskyy and Putin to come to terms and stop the war.  If they can agree to terms, President Trump will then coordinate a trilateral meeting between Putin, Zelenskyy and Trump to sign a peace deal – complete with the security guarantee package provided by the Europeans.  WATCH:
