Trump-Zelenskyy meeting raises doubts about Ukraine support
Former President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a tense meeting in the Oval Office, raising concerns about U.S. support for Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia. The meeting ended with Trump shouting at Zelenskyy over gratitude and the stakes of the war. Their relationship has evolved since a controversial 2019 phone call, which led to Trump's impeachment. Initially, Trump pressured Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden, but later, he claimed the call was "perfect." U.S. military aid to Ukraine has exceeded $65 billion since Russia's invasion in 2022. Trump's recent comments included criticism of Zelenskyy for not organizing elections and suggesting Ukraine was partly to blame for the invasion. Despite past tensions, Trump had previously expressed support for Ukraine's defense efforts.
