State of Black Hollywood

On today's episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton shares breaking news about negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. President Trump is set to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky in Washington following a failed summit with Russian President Putin in Alaska. Axios reports that Trump plans a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky by August 22. He also spoke with Zelensky and EU leaders over the weekend about a possible NATO-like security guarantee. Although Trump once claimed he could end the war in 24 hours, he now suggests a ceasefire is unlikely but maintains that a peace deal is near. Additionally, federal forces and the National Guard have been mobilized in Washington, D.C., amid a redistricting battle between Republicans and Democrats. Later, we will speak with director Spike Lee about the state of Black Hollywood.
