U.S. lawmakers are reacting to a recent clash between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The meeting, intended to strengthen ties, has led to criticism from both parties, with some Republicans expressing disappointment in Zelenskyy. Key Republicans, including Senator Lindsey Graham, labeled the meeting a "disaster," while others praised Trump for his tough stance.
