U.S. lawmakers are reacting to a recent clash between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. The meeting, intended to strengthen ties, has led to criticism from both parties, with some Republicans expressing support for Trump’s approach while others lament the fallout for Ukraine. Key Republicans, including Senator Lindsey Graham, called the meeting a “disaster,” while others praised Trump for prioritizing American interests.
