Trump announced the three-week-old peace deal had collapsed when asked about fresh attacks at a NATO summit in Turkey, according to multiple reports.

Sarah Longwell, founder of The Bulwark, shared Greene’s skepticism.
“Don’t worry guys,” she wrote. “There will be a new ‘deal’ imminent on Sunday evening, just before the markets open.”
