King Charles to hold official audience for Ukrainian president as show of support after Trump clash

Summary

After a tense Oval Office encounter with Donald Trump and JD Vance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received a warm UK welcome, including an official audience with King Charles at Sandringham.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened a defence summit with European and NATO allies to reaffirm solidarity with Ukraine, discuss unlocking frozen Russian assets, and counter the rift caused by Trump’s accusations of Zelenskyy’s ingratitude.

European leaders fear the spat endangers Western unity and peace efforts and are vowing no negotiations on Ukraine without Ukrainian involvement.

      Trump has implied it himself a handful of times, and the fact is Elon Musk was paying people started a sweepstakes for people in Pennsylvania to win $1million each, to vote for trump.

        Not each, it was a sweepstakes, but that was absolutely manipulation. Man what a blatant way to insult the working class by dangling a chance at table scraps at them in exchange for their integrity…and no doubt many went for it.

        I wonder if any actually got paid?

          Thank you for the correction. It’s annoying being the one saying something inaccurate, but I always appreciate it being pointed out.

        That’s absurd and it’s this kind of misinformation that has led our country to be the joke it is today. Do better.
