Trump-Zelenskyy: another showdown?

There's plenty about the build up to this Trump-Zelenskyy summit which tells you that it is no normal meeting.

The questions over whether President Zelenskyy will wear a suit and tie.

The video from the plane where Keir Starmer pleads with Trump to secure a "just peace".

And the Truth Social posts from President Trump, just hours ahead of their talks, where he pre-emptively told the world that NATO membership was off the cards for Ukraine, as was the prospect of Crimea being returned.

Why is Trump seemingly setting pre-conditions for Ukraine which look very much like Kremlin objectives?

Can European leaders convince Trump to stand by Ukraine if the conflict continues?

Or could we be set for a repeat of the ugly scenes we saw in the White House in February - where Trump and JD Vance openly berated their guest, accused him of disrespect, and told him he held none of the cards?
