Friday’s White House meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was described as “tense,” Axios reported, citing sources familiar with the discussions.
According to two individuals briefed on the meeting, Trump informed Zelensky that he does not plan to provide long-range Tomahawk missiles “at least for now.” The talks, which lasted around two and a half hours, were characterized by one source as “not easy” and by another as “bad.”
At times, the conversation “got a bit emotional,” Axios noted. While “nobody shouted,” one source said that Trump was “tough” throughout the session. The meeting ended abruptly when Trump reportedly stated, “I think we’re done. Let’s see what happens next week,” possibly alluding to upcoming Russia-US talks.
Afterward, speaking to reporters, Zelensky declined to comment on the issue of Tomahawk missile deliveries. He only mentioned that the US “does not want escalation.”
