Riyadh airport attacked again: Trump weighs joining Saudi strikes on Houthis
The latest attack came amid an escalation in hostilities between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump engaged in a clash over a recent diesel deal between Washington and Moscow, amid Russia's ongoing strikes on Ukraine that have resulted in at least 21 deaths, including four children. The US President, whose party faces difficulties in the upcoming midterm elections partly due to high US fuel prices, announced on Friday that he had spoken with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and authorized Moscow to release substantial amounts of diesel into the global market.
However, Ukraine and its European allies criticized the move, with Zelensky calling it a "weak decision." The EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, stated that easing sanctions on Russian diesel would only fuel the Kremlin's war on Ukraine, emphasizing that Europe would not soften its stance. In response to the criticism, Trump accused Zelensky of disobeying his orders not to target Russian refineries, claiming that Russia's strikes on Ukrainian refineries risk worsening global fuel shortages.
He urged Ukraine to "get a new president" and suggested that Zelensky could have brokered more deals, though he never did.
