A White House official said Trump is focused on reaching a peace deal and wants Zelenskyy “committed” to that goal.
The US has suspended military aid to Ukraine following a tense meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy. Trump wants Zelenskyy to commit to a peace deal with Russia, viewing the aid suspension as leverage. Russia welcomes the suspension, linking it to normalized US relations contingent on lifting sanctions. Critics, including Democrats, condemn the move. Trump believes Zelenskyy should be more appreciative of US support, while Zelenskyy maintains a peace agreement is distant.
