Speaker 2 (00:14):
The single best idea and on short notice with the
shocking headlines out this weekend, the team put together a
great set of conversations on this historic, truly historic moment
in Washington. I think it's in the summer August ninety degrees.
Everybody doing what you do in the middle of August.
It's all crept up on us. The gathering of NATO

(00:35):
leaders in Washington today on an emergency basis, We've never
seen this, back to the Atlanta Charter of nineteen forty one.
We chose to speak to Angela's Stent. She's at the
Brookings Institution with decades of experience, including the late Marshall Goldman.
I would say definitive on Russia, on Eastern Europe and

(00:59):
NATO diploma. See Angela's stent. On the distance from Anchorage
to Washington.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
It's going to be very difficult.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
President Trump completely reversed himself. He went into the discussions
in Alaska saying they had to be a ceasefire first,
and then they discussed the conditions. And now so, I mean,
the thing that the Europeans and Ukraine have to do
today is to persuade President Trump that that's just not
viable and that they have to push for a ceasefire.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
First, we continue with Angela's st Paul Sweeney asked her
about Congress and people in the Republican Party who fled
out disagree with their president.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
We know that a number of the US Senators, including Republicans,
were very concerned about what happened in Alaska and about
President Trump really seving Putin what Putin wanted. So there
is the question is will the Congress stand up and
you know, try and persuade the Trump administrationarticularly the Republicans

(02:01):
at Congress that they have to really profress.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
On and Angela's stent of the Brookings Institution, We're on
podcasts on Apple, on Spotify, and on YouTube podcasts. It's
single best idea.
