Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House on July 28, marking a crucial moment in efforts to sustain American support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict with Russia. The visit occurs during a period of shifting attitudes within the MAGA movement and amid internal divisions in the Republican Party, raising questions about the future of military and diplomatic backing. The timing also coincides with the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, a prominent Republican supporter of Ukraine, emphasizing the fragility of bipartisan consensus.
Fraser Jackson of FRANCE 24 reports from Washington, highlighting the high stakes of the meeting as Kyiv seeks assurances on advanced weapons and financial assistance. With the war entering a critical phase, Zelensky's ability to secure commitments depends on Trump’s foreign policy direction and the broader political landscape. The interaction reflects evolving US-Ukraine relations shaped by domestic politics and international pressures.
