So you know, I would be very careful on conventional wisdom. And to go back to your question, it is a peace negotiation. Well, okay. To that point, Republican Senator Mike Rounds, who was briefed by Secretary Rubio, came out and he said this, quote, he it's not our peace plan. It looked more like it was written in Russian to begin with. Secretary Rubio says the US did write the plan. But regardless of who wrote it, US Lawmakers are concerned that it benefits Russia over Ukraine. Is the administration, is President Trump planning to pressure Ukraine to accept this deal? Look, at the end of the day, it's going to be a decision with the Ukrainians. (07:57–08:19)
