Can Europe 'Trump' the Donald on Ukraine?

It’s been a seismic weekend in global politics with nothing less than the future of European security at stake.

Kamal and Camilla reflect on Donald Trump and JD Vance’s shouting match with Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office on Friday, which has left US support for Ukraine in serious doubt.

They also take in Sunday’s summit of international leaders in London chaired by Keir Starmer, which saw the PM leading the European response and seeming to pull off a delicate balancing act as a conduit between the American and Ukrainian presidents. 

Whether Starmer and French president Emmanuel Macron’s plan for a “coalition of the willing” to lead the defence of a post-war Ukraine is feasible very much remains to be seen – especially without American air cover.

And few know Trump better than his biographer Michael Wolff, who is in the Daily T studio to mark the publication of his latest book All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America (dismissed as “totally FAKE” by Trump). Wolff gives Kamal and Camilla his take on the thinking of a man he describes as “both a moron and a genius”.
