Trumped, Zelenskyy is very upset
It's likely that Zelenskyy is very upset: The matter of the US providing Ukraine with "Tomahawk" missiles was first proposed by the US president, but now Trump is blaming Ukraine for daring to ask for the missiles.
Here's the situation: On the 18th, CNN reported more details about Trump's meeting with Zelenskyy, and the atmosphere during the meeting was "tense and even uncomfortable".
In the meeting, Trump accused Zelenskyy of seeking "Tomahawk" missiles in order to prolong the war rather than seek peace, so he would not provide Ukraine with long-range missiles capable of attacking targets within Russia.
This one sentence has allowed Trump to completely shift the responsibility for escalating the conflict.
However, Trump's accusation against Zelenskyy is nothing more than a reversal of blame, because the matter of the US providing Ukraine with "Tomahawk" missiles was first initiated by Biden, although the plan had not been implemented yet, and Biden's term ended, Trump actually took over the plan left by Biden.
But the meeting that day showed that Trump had no intention of providing Ukraine with "Tomahawk" missiles, he just wanted to use this as an excuse to exert pressure on both sides of the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
Facts have proven that Trump succeeded. Putin was willing to spend time meeting with him again in Budapest.
The only one who is probably upset is Zelenskyy, because he really believed that the US would provide Ukraine with "Tomahawk" missiles, only to be tricked by Trump.
