Trump and Zelenskyy clash over Ukraine war strategy
President Donald Trump had a heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a meeting in the Oval Office. Trump criticized Zelenskyy for his approach to the Russia-Ukraine war, suggesting he was risking global conflict. The meeting, intended to discuss U.S. support for Ukraine, ended abruptly after tensions escalated. Trump accused Zelenskyy of being disrespectful and emphasized that the U.S. would continue military aid but wanted to see an end to the war. Despite the confrontation, Zelenskyy is expected to sign an economic agreement with the U.S. that would help finance Ukraine's reconstruction. The deal includes provisions for U.S. access to Ukraine's natural resources, which Zelenskyy insists must be accompanied by security guarantees against future Russian aggression.
