BRUSSELS — Europe is suffering from a bad case of what could be called “Trump fatigue.” It’s only five weeks since the U.S. president stunned the West by calling Vladimir Putin to launch the process he’s promised will bring “an END to this very horrible War.” In response, the EU’s outraged leaders pushed for a central seat at the negotiating table, and declared there must be no talks “about Ukraine without Ukraine.” Those indignant demands fell on stony ground.
