abc7ny.com

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 expressed a desire to limit future aid. He indicated that a significant economic agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine would be signed soon, aimed at reconstruction and security. Zelenskyy is seeking U.S. security guarantees amid concerns about a potential peace deal that could favor Russia. The agreement would involve a joint investment fund, with Ukraine contributing from its natural resources, but Zelenskyy insists on specific security assurances before any concessions are made.
