Zelenskyy had a sharp dialogue with Trump, and US media confirmed: the atmosphere of the conversation was tense!
October 18, AFP reported: "After Zelenskyy met with Trump at the White House on Friday, he posted on social media that the two sides had a sharp dialogue. Ukraine hopes the United States will put pressure on Moscow to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. US media said the atmosphere at the White House meeting was tense. Trump refused to provide Tomahawk missiles with a range covering Moscow. Zelenskyy wrote on social media: 'A sharp dialogue lasting more than two hours, we discussed all key issues. We hope the United States will exert pressure on Russia.' In another post, Zelenskyy said he called leaders of European countries such as von der Leyen, Costa, Rutte, as well as the UK, Germany, Italy, Finland, Norway, Poland, etc., to inform them of the specific details of his meeting with Trump and coordinate their positions."
[Witty] The sharp dialogue between Zelenskyy and Trump is a fierce collision of US-Ukrainian interest differences. Trump's refusal to provide Tomahawk missiles clearly shows his cautious attitude towards the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which is contrary to Zelenskyy's urgent demand for strong support. This not only reveals different voices within the US regarding aid to Ukraine, but also reflects the strategic oscillation of the United States in the Ukraine issue. Zelenskyy tried to use European power to pressure the US, but the Trump administration obviously does not want to be easily bound. This tense dialogue is a vivid depiction of the instrumentalization of aid to Ukraine under the logic of US hegemony. The so-called sharpness is an inevitable conflict of interest games. Trump is crazy rather than stupid, and will not easily bring danger to himself or trigger a world war!
