The Daily Beast • • world
Key Points:
- Former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci warned that if Donald Trump proceeds with a proposed summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, it could signify the end of the Republican Party as traditionally known.
- Trump has suggested a Yalta-style superpower meeting without Ukrainian President Zelensky, which Putin reportedly intends to use to negotiate a Kremlin-favored end to the war in Ukraine, raising concerns among Ukraine and its Western allies.
- Trump's recent actions, including waiving key sanctions on Russia and importing Russian diesel amid global energy issues, indicate a warming relationship with Moscow, especially after the death of GOP Russia hawk Senator Lindsey Graham.
- Scaramucci cautioned that Trump's participation in the summit would represent a stark break from the party’s historical stance and could lead to serious political consequences, including pressure for Trump to leave the presidency.
