The meeting, initially anticipated to bolster US-Ukraine relations, instead devolved into a heated exchange, with Trump reportedly criticizing Zelensky’s approach to securing aid. This incident, however, seems to have only strengthened Zelensky’s resolve and his strategy of garnering international support.
The fallout from the contentious meeting appears to have spurred Zelensky to redouble his efforts in expressing gratitude to the international community.
