Frank Gardner(BBC Security Correspondent): "Steve Witkoff isn't a professional negotiator... he's a New York property tycoon, who plays golf with Donald Trump..."

The irony of the main nation ‘negotiating’ between an invader and their victims while threatening to take over a fellow NATO allies’ land and the world pretending its normal baffles me.

Imagine this idiot being the one who's negotiating on behalf of America in one of the most complicated geopolitical issues for Europe in 80 years because Trump plays golf with him. What the hell is going on?

@Paul68958640 Sohe is someone who lets Donald Trump beat him at golf, you mean?

Good grief. What could go wrong?

He is right. Time to deep check on Witkoff. He has a russian name, has russian ancestry, had some odd ties to the russian organized crime. And he is related to Trump ever since the 70's.

Gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside, doesn't it? The thought that a conflict with the potential to go nuclear is being negotiated by a man who can really only claim to be able to screw money out of people and knock a ball about.

Precisely. And then Trump wonders why agreeing a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is so difficult ! 🙄

Steve Witkoff's Jewish forebears, who escaped persecution in the Russian Empire, would be outraged at their grandson's cosiness with the tyrant Putin.

Well well,all it takes is a great journalist to uncover the truth...great job Frank,as always. So Trumps 'special envoy' is nothing of the sort,no diplomatic skills..he is a golfer who regularly massages Trumps ego
