  • But 316 days into his second term,

  • And the proposed peace deal between Russia and Ukraine has just one little problem.

  • Everyone hates it.

  • Decisions with implications for Europe and NATO interests need the joint support of European partners and NATO allies respectively.

  • To get things back on track, Trump's envoy is in Russia today to try to rescue the deal.

  • But it's one man, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is maybe the most important player.
