That meeting is going to go down in the history books for President Trump, to be a president of peace,
To just abandon Ukraine, after all the sacrifice that they made, after so much loss of life, and with the rallying of the whole West against Putin, it would just be a moral tragedy,
It needs to happen soon, ... We cannot continue to dedicate time and resources to this effort if it's not going to come to fruition."
I had the honor of attending Pope Francis's funeral, on this day, where I prayed for the healing of those who are suffering and for peace in the world,
