I discuss the recent exchange between Trump and Zelensky in the Oval Office, highlighting the implications for US foreign policy and global business.

I am extremely concerned over the shift in America's stance towards Ukraine and NATO, and the US move towards a more transactional and isolationist approach.

I also explore the potential consequences for international relations and the business landscape, emphasizing the need for companies to adapt to a rapidly changing geopolitical environment.
