Trump criticizes Zelenskyy, shortens Ukraine talks

President Donald Trump had a heated meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, where he criticized Zelenskyy for his approach to the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump accused him of risking global conflict and suggested he was not in a strong negotiating position. Despite the tense exchange, Trump stated that the U.S. would continue military support for Ukraine but emphasized a desire to limit arms shipments. He also mentioned a forthcoming economic agreement aimed at aiding Ukraine's reconstruction and securing U.S. interests in Ukrainian resources. Zelenskyy, who is seeking security guarantees against future Russian aggression, remains firm on the need for specific assurances in any agreement. This visit marks Zelenskyy's first to the White House under the Trump administration, following four visits during the Biden administration.
