Trump criticizes Zelenskyy, jeopardizing Ukraine's future support
A recent meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ended in conflict, marking a significant shift in U.S.-Ukraine relations. Unlike previous meetings, this encounter saw Trump openly criticize Zelenskyy, leaving Ukraine without the security guarantees it sought. Trump's stance on Ukraine has changed, as he now positions himself as an "arbiter" rather than a supporter. This contrasts sharply with President Joe Biden's earlier support for Ukraine. The meeting's tone was tense, with Trump and Vice-President JD Vance questioning Zelenskyy's leadership and commitment. Zelenskyy left the meeting without securing a minerals deal or U.S. support, raising concerns about Ukraine's future. He is now heading to London for discussions with European leaders, as reliance on U.S. support appears diminished.
