Trump at UN: Refinery Plea, UK Praise, CNN Scold

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Trump treats diplomacy like a reality show, mixing policy demands with personal compliments and media feuds for maximum screen time.
💡 Why it matters
These moves could shift Ukraine's military strategy, boost Burnham's UK standing, and further strain press access under a second Trump term.

At the UN, Trump urged Zelenskyy to stop striking Russian refineries, praised UK PM Andy Burnham as a 'natural businessperson', and chided CNN's Kaitlan Collins for covering him despite the White House ban.
