US cancels media conference after Zelensky meets Trump's envoy in Kiev
Retired US Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, Trump's special envoy, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev. A planned news conference after the meeting was unexpectedly canceled, with no explanation given by either side. President Trump criticized Zelensky for allegedly treating Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent rudely during his visit. Trump claimed Zelensky was unavailable for a meeting, calling him a "dictator" and suggesting that new elections in Ukraine may be necessary. Vice President J.D. Vance warned that Zelensky's public criticism of Trump could be harmful. Many observers believe there may soon be significant changes in Ukraine's government due to increasing pressure from Washington.
