The conservative newspaper's editorial board has a message for Trump ahead of his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House.
The editorial board of The Wall Street Journal on Sunday warned President Donald Trump against pushing for an end to the war in Ukraine at any cost.
In an editorial titled “What Kind of Peace in Ukraine?” two days after Trump hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin for bilateral talks in Anchorage, Alaska, the conservative newspaper conceded that it’s too early to know the next steps the U.S. president plans to take as he looks forward to achieving his long-standing goal of bringing the brutal war to a close.
“Whether it’s the start of a road to peace, or to appeasement, is impossible to know,” the editorial reads. “We’re not sure if Mr. Trump knows himself.”
