Trump-Zelenskyy relationship deteriorates over U.S. support issues

President Donald Trump's relationship with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been marked by tension, especially following a recent Oval Office meeting that ended in a heated argument. Trump canceled a minerals deal with Ukraine amid disagreements over Zelenskyy's gratitude and the ongoing conflict with Russia. The two leaders' interactions date back to a controversial 2019 phone call that led to Trump's impeachment. While Trump referred to the call as "perfect," it involved pressure on Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden's son. Since then, U.S. support for Ukraine has been a key focus of the Biden administration. Recent developments include Trump's criticism of Zelenskyy and a suggestion that Ukraine is responsible for the war. This contrasts with previous support, as Trump had previously expressed a willingness to negotiate peace. The recent fallout raises questions about the future of U.S. assistance to Ukraine.
