Summary

During an Oval Office meeting with British PM Keir Starmer, Trump walked back his recent criticism of Ukrainian President Zelensky, responding “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that” when asked if he still considered Zelensky a “dictator.”

Trump claimed to have a “very good relationship” with Zelensky despite last week calling him a “dictator without elections” and suggesting he shouldn’t participate in peace negotiations.

Starmer corrected Trump’s claim that European aid to Ukraine was all loans, noting much was “gifted.”

Zelensky is scheduled to visit the White House on February 28 to finalize a critical minerals agreement.

    On the one hand yes, but on the other hand, I really don’t want to see a power vacuum in this government right now. Before you know it, Elon announces himself the One True Successor™.

      It already happened. Trump’s brain is cheese and he is letting Elron run everything.
