President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked First Lady Melania Trump for writing a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin in which she advocated for the safety of children impacted by war. NBC News’ Monica Alba details how the first lady is influencing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

"What about all the children in America?" Navarro asked, calling out Melania Trump for asking Putin to end the Ukraine war in the name of kids.

In theory, it was perhaps a noble gesture: First Lady Melania Trump sending a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin pleading for the safety and welfare of the children. In practice, it was, well, a bit barmy.

Imitating Melania’s Slovenian accent, the grandson of former president John F. Kennedy posted video of himself reading the entire letter to his social media accounts on Sunday, before adding his own thoughts.

It’s possible Trump has good reason to believe Putin is ready to deal; we’re not privy to the behind-the-scenes machinations and we still don’t know what precisely prompted this meeting. But by Trump’s new standards for dealing with Putin, words aren’t supposed to be trusted; it’s action to back it up that’s required.

Trump and Putin will meet for the seventh time in Alaska. Trump left the previous five meetings with little to show for it.
