Trump urges Zelensky to compromise with Russia

US President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to make compromises with Russia for a truce, stating that failure to do so could result in a loss of US support. This marked a significant shift in Trump's previously strong backing for Ukraine. During a tense meeting in the Oval Office, Trump criticized Zelensky for not being grateful and emphasized the need for Ukraine to negotiate with Russia. Zelensky countered by highlighting Russian war crimes and rejecting any compromises with what he termed a "killer." Trump's comments reflect a notable change in US policy, as he positions himself as a mediator between Ukraine and Russia. He also mentioned a potential deal for US access to Ukraine's natural resources, aimed at aiding recovery after a truce.
