Summary
Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy had a heated argument during an Oval Office meeting that ended with Zelenskyy leaving without signing a planned bilateral agreement.
Despite the diplomatic breakdown, Ukrainians rallied around Zelenskyy, praising him for standing firm on Ukraine’s interests against pressure from Trump and JD Vance, who criticized him for lacking gratitude for previous U.S. support.
While Moscow officials were delighted by the apparent rift, many Ukrainians viewed Zelenskyy as defending their country’s dignity during the 3-year Russian invasion.
The tariffs are due to start on Canadian goods in a couple days. I expect Trudeau is going to face the same kind of tantrum.
