A public meeting between President Donald Trump and Volodimia Zelensky has come down to Spat.
A visit that Ukrainian President Voldymurzelensky’s desire to secure US support in the face of Russian invasion ended in a very public debate instead.
A meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House was to sign a signature over the rights of some of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals.
Kiev wanted us to continue supporting us, despite the fact that it didn’t include security guarantees against Russian attacks.
Instead, President Zelensky received a dressdown from Trump and his vice president, J.D. Vance.
Now, Trump is threatening to derive support from Ukraine.
What does this mean for the war in Ukraine?
And will Washington force a settlement with Moscow?
