Trump Reportedly Gives His Special Envoy 100 Days To Negotiate Peace in Ukraine

The Wall Street Journal reports that President Donald Trump has handed Gen. Keith Kellogg, his envoy for Ukraine, the task of negotiating a peace in Ukraine in 100 days, but it’s a task that almost no one believes he can accomplish. Kellogg is described as a fierce Trump loyalist with no diplomatic experience. The Journal quotes John Bolton, the neocon nutcase who was National Security Adviser to Trump in his first term but who “clashed” with him frequently, saying that he once heard Trump say he liked Kellogg because he “never offers his opinion unless I ask for it.”

Kellogg, the Journal further reports, has lately been publicly buttressing the notion that Ukraine can make battlefield gains against Russia with U.S. assistance. He has praised the Biden administration’s decision to give more potent weapons to Ukraine, saying it gives Trump leverage in upcoming talks, and suggested that more weaponry to Ukraine might be used as a cudgel to get Moscow to negotiate.
