After an argumentative meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump in the White House, European leaders quickly showed continued support for the Ukrainian leader. The next challenge will be how they deal with the US president.

Summary

After a tense Oval Office meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Donald Trump, European leaders strongly reaffirmed their support for Ukraine.

Officials, including Germany’s Scholz and France’s Macron, emphasized Ukraine’s right to defend itself, while EU foreign policy chief Kallas called for Europe to take the lead.

British Prime Minister Starmer will host international leaders to discuss the situation. Meanwhile, Hungary’s Orban sided with Trump, claiming concerns about EU unity on Ukraine aid.

Many European leaders now question U.S. reliability as an ally.

    Look at that f u c k i n g fireplace mantel; that used to have class to it’s decor. Every administration took pride in giving the Oval Office their touch. Look at Jimmy Carter’s office:

    Carter had a clean, understated look. Obama and Biden took a lot of inspiration from the Carter administration.

    Now our national office looks like it was decorated by a 12 year old boy still clinging onto all of his T-ball participation trophies he “won” over half a decade ago.

    Before you say anything, yes, I know this is such a non-issue in the face of all the actual issues being engineered by this technocratic regime, but… I’m tired, boss. I’ve been screaming about this for years and now the only energy I have left is to pedantically nit-pick the decor choices of US federal administrations. Life is… non-ideal.

      I noticed that too when I watched the video. He’s too obsessed with gold and has always been garish with it. I’m sure it’s why he paints himself orange too. It’s weird.
