US cancels press conference with Zelensky after tense talks with Trump envoy
The U.S. has canceled a planned press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after his meeting with U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg. This decision follows recent tensions between Trump and Zelensky, with Trump labeling Zelensky a "dictator." Trump's comments have raised concerns about U.S. support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict with Russia. He criticized Zelensky for not holding elections and accused him of mismanaging U.S. aid. The White House has urged Zelensky to finalize a critical minerals deal with the U.S. Additionally, the U.S. has declined to co-sponsor a UN resolution supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity, marking a shift in diplomatic relations. This comes as European leaders seek to maintain unity in response to the ongoing war.
