The meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and former U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House ended in disaster on Friday. The two leaders clashed in an extraordinary exchange before the world's media over the war with Russia.
Zelenskyy had hoped to convince the United States not to side with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered the invasion of Ukraine three years ago. However, Trump and Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelenskyy for his disrespect, driving relations with Kyiv's most important wartime ally to a new low. The Ukrainian leader was reportedly asked to leave the meeting.
This incident highlights the complex and often fraught relationship between Ukraine and the United States. While the U.S. has provided significant military and economic assistance to Ukraine, there have also been tensions over issues such as corruption and the role of Russia in the region. The meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump underscores the challenges of maintaining a strong alliance in the face of such disagreements.
