Trump shifts U.S. support strategy in Ukraine conflict

As Russia's war in Ukraine continues, tensions have escalated following a breakdown in talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This shift raises concerns about Ukraine's military support from the U.S. Trump's recent approach includes negotiations with Russia for a ceasefire, contrasting sharply with the previous administration's stance. The U.S. is now considering reducing military aid, placing more responsibility on European nations for Ukraine's defense. Zelensky's visit to Washington ended in chaos, with Trump criticizing him for perceived disrespect. A proposed minerals deal, which could have provided Ukraine with U.S. support, remains uncertain after Zelensky declined to sign under pressure.
