Plea to Trump with fragile nation on edge

Dear President Trump, I am writing this as I ride through the night on a train from the Poland-Ukraine border to Kyiv, Ukraine.

- Thomas Friedman

I should be thinking about the Ukraine war, but I am thinking about you and why the aftermath of the awful murder of Charlie Kirk may be the most important turning point in your presidency — depending on how you turn.

Let me put this bluntly: You are not going to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which you so covet, by mediating between Ukrainians and Vladimir Putin or in the Gaza Strip between Israelis and Palestinians. Neither of these conflicts is ripe for a solution right now. But you have a chance to win something much more significant and historic:

The American peace prize.
