Zelensky Moves On To King Charles After Blowup With Trump

krainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has met with King Charles following an emergency summit with European leaders in London, where he was urged to repair his relationship with President Trump.

The meeting came just 48 hours after his disastrous White House meeting with Trump and Vice President JD Vance, in which he was scolded by the American leaders for not being grateful enough for the support for Ukraine and for not agreeing to Trump's terms to begin peace negotiations with Russia.
