Quick Summary

A political commentator warns that if President Donald Trump pursues Putin's proposed "Yalta 2" summit with Xi Jinping, it could severely fracture the Republican Party and bolster Democratic chances in upcoming midterms. The article compares this potential meeting to historically disastrous diplomatic failures like the original Yalta conference and the Munich Agreement, suggesting that appearing alongside adversaries would damage Trump’s legacy and possibly lead to his impeachment.

Story summary

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed holding a summit in China next month with U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss denuclearization and potentially the war in Ukraine. The meeting would take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Shenzhen, although details remain uncertain. Putin raised the idea during a call with Trump earlier this month, aiming for a peace deal that favors Russia and establishing spheres of influence globally. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is reportedly not invited to attend, despite his country being a key player in the ongoing conflict. Critics argue such talks could undermine U.S. allies' strategic interests and stability in Europe and Asia.

If President Donald Trump wants a full-on riot within the Republican Party, going along with Vladimir Putin’s idea for a “Yalta 2” summit with Xi Jinping is the way to do it. asserted

going → want → it

Putin knows that the original Yalta was a triumph for Joseph Stalin, who persuaded an ailing President Franklin Roosevelt to open the door to postwar Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. asserted

who → know → Europe

Look: Yalta One was a meeting of allies — this new one would be Trump volunteering to be outnumbered by our determined foes. asserted

Trump → look → foes

It doesn’t matter how much contempt the prez has for Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky — setting out a plan to resolve the war without him present recalls another conference last century: the Munich Agreement that fed Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler. asserted

that → matter → Hitler

That “peace in our time” deal ensured that British Premier Neville Chamberlain would go down in history as one of history’s greatest chumps. asserted

Chamberlain → ensure → chumps

Yet the biggest problems start long before any sitdown. asserted

problems → start → sitdown

However much Trump thinks he can work with Xi, however charmed he is by Putin, doesn’t matter: Simply announcing he means to do this would instantly prompt all-out rebellion by much of the GOP, further sinking the party’s chances in the midterms. asserted

Heck, it might outrage several GOP senators into going along. uncertain

it → end → bonus

You say it nicely, Mr. President, but tell Vlad it’s a flat “no.” asserted

it → say → Vlad

Trump going for ‘Yalta 2’ with Putin and Xi would blow up the Republican Party
