Trump faces UK backlash over comments on Zelensky

Donald Trump is facing strong criticism from UK politicians after a heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Conservative MPs, including Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, defended Zelensky, emphasizing the need for unity against Russian aggression. Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick expressed dismay at Trump's comments, stating that Zelensky has shown bravery in defending Ukraine. He called for Western leaders to present a united front, while Badenoch highlighted the importance of cooperation against President Putin. The backlash comes as Keir Starmer prepares to host Zelensky and EU leaders in London. The breakdown in talks between Kyiv and the White House raises concerns about the future of support for Ukraine amid ongoing discussions between the US and Russia.
