Trump's Envoys Juggle Iran Nuclear, Ukraine War Talks in Geneva

U.S. President Donald Trump assigned his envoys, Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, to conduct simultaneous high-stakes diplomatic negotiations in Switzerland===Geneva. These talks addressed the Iranian nuclear standoff and Russia's war in Ukraine. Critics question the envoys' experience and the sincerity of the U.S. approach, suggesting that juggling two major crises at once risks 'overstretch'. While some progress was reported in the Iran talks mediated by Oman, an agreement is not imminent, and Donald Trump continues a military buildup near Iran. Expectations for a breakthrough in the Russia-Ukraine negotiations are low. This diplomatic strategy is seen by some as Donald Trump's attempt to secure more international deals for a Nobel Peace Prize, despite concerns about the 'hollowing-out' of the U.S. foreign policy apparatus.
