Ukrainian President's Decisive Visit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the White House to appeal to President Trump for continued support in Ukraine's conflict with Russia. During this meeting, Zelensky stood up to Trump, who previously referred to him as a dictator and wrongly blamed Ukraine for instigating the war. The cordial start of their meeting quickly devolved into a heated exchange, with Zelensky emphasizing that previous diplomatic efforts had failed due to Russia's unreliability. The confrontation marked a rare instance of a foreign leader openly challenging Trump, highlighting tensions in U.S.-Ukraine relations amid concerns of Trump potentially pulling back support.
