European summit on Ukraine set for March 6, 2025
A heated exchange occurred between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on February 28, 2025. Trump criticized Zelensky for not showing enough gratitude for U.S. aid, leading to Zelensky's departure from the meeting. Trump has been critical of U.S. support for Ukraine since Russia's invasion in 2022. He has not committed to providing security guarantees for any potential peace deal, raising concerns about future U.S. military aid to Ukraine. In response to the tensions, European leaders are alarmed and have reiterated their support for Ukraine. A special European summit on Ukraine is scheduled for March 6, 2025, to address the situation.
