During a meeting at the White House, Trump and Zelenskyy publicly argued. US military assistance to Ukraine will be temporarily suspended, according an order issued by US President Donald Trump on Monday. Days have passed since Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy argued at the White House. An unidentified White House official was quoted by several news outlets as stating that the United States was "pausing and reviewing" its help to "ensure that it is contributing to a solution" to the conflict with Russia.Trump has stated unequivocally that he is centred on peace. The official was quoted as stating, "We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well." According to an unnamed government official quoted by the Fox News network, the action did not equate to a permanent suspension of aid. If the US withdraws its backing, will Europe be prepared to protect itself?

What was at issue between Zelenskyy and Trump? Zelenskyy went to the White House on Friday to sign an agreement that would allow the United States to access Ukraine's rare minerals. Promotion Zelenskyy angered Trump and US Vice President JD Vance during a press conference in the Oval Office prior to the scheduled signing of the agreement when he claimed that Ukraine needed security guarantees as part of any pointing out that Russian President Vladimir Putin has broken previous ceasefire agreements with Russia. According to US media, following the dispute and the failure to sign the mineral contract, the Ukrainian delegation was asked to leave the White House. Following the conflict, which has spurred a discussion about Europe's relationship with the United States, a number of European leaders reaffirmed their support for Ukraine. European leaders met at a meeting in London on Sunday night to talk about strengthening Europe's defences and extending its assistance to Ukraine. Zelenskyy is accused by Trump of not desiring "peace." Trump attacked Zelenskyy earlier Monday for implying that the war's conclusion was still "very, very far away." In response to his Truth Social, the US president platform, declaring the comments to be "the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!" "It is what I was saying, this guy doesn't want there to be Peace as long as he has America's backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the US," Trump stated. Zelenskyy "won't be around for very long" if the Ukrainian president rejects a ceasefire agreement with Moscow, according to Trump. Zelenskyy has also been dubbed a "dictator" by the US president, and several US officials have demanded his resignation. Zelenskyy won Ukraine's 2019 presidential election by a wide margin. The March 2024 was supposed to see the next presidential election, but it was postponed because Ukrainian law forbids holding national elections while martial law is in effect.
