The Trump administration is seeking a public apology from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following a tense exchange at the White House on Friday. Zelensky has declined to apologize, stating that he respects US President Donald Trump and the American people, but must make Ukraine’s position clear.
Zelensky has since taken to social media to thank the US and other world leaders for their support, including European Commission Vice President Kaja Kallas, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and French President Emmanuel Macron. A summit of world leaders is set to take place in London on Sunday to reaffirm support for Ukraine amid shifting transatlantic consensus.
