BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Around 50 European leaders have reassessed their trans-Atlantic relations at a special summit in Budapest, in the hope that Donald Trump’s second U.S. presidency will avoid the strife and political pitfalls of his first. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned against Trump’s assertion that he could end Russia’s war with Ukraine in a single day, saying a fast resolution would be a loss for Ukraine. The 27 nations from the European Union bloc will be meeting in a separate summit as soon as other leaders from the United Kingdom, Turkey and the Balkans leave on Thursday evening.
