Marco Rubio Clashes With Witkoff, Fight Gets UGLY Over Putin—Confusion Rips Through MAGA Circle

A rift has emerged within Donald Trump’s inner circle over Russia’s intentions in the Ukraine war. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Keith Kellogg urge caution, Trump leans toward aide Steve Witkoff, who believes Moscow seeks peace. Witkoff’s meetings with Putin, including a recent 5-hour session, intensified the divide. Meanwhile, a deadly missile strike in Sumy triggered further controversy, with Trump calling it a "mistake" while others condemned it. Russia blames Ukraine for escalation and misinformation. As trust wanes, US foreign policy appears sharply divided. #TrumpRussia #UkraineCrisis #MarcoRubio #SteveWitkoff #KeithKellogg #PutinTalks #RussiaUkraineWar #USForeignPolicy #WSJReport #Zelensky #SumyStrike #UkrainePeace #Lavrov #KirillDmitriev #RussiaDiplomacy #WhiteHouseDivide #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #MoscowTalks #TrumpAides
