Trump says U.S. has "gotten nothing back" from Ukraine "other than high diesel"
President Trump on Tuesday continued his public feud with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying the leader "has to want to settle" the Russia-Ukraine war and criticizing him for not doing so. CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion reports.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with a United States delegation in Oslo on Tuesday, where he appeared relatively positive about recent discussions. However, his conversation with US President Donald Trump took a different tone, with Trump urging Zelenskyy to make a deal with Russia. Trump complained that the United States had received nothing in return for its support of Ukraine, citing "tremendous monetary loss" and "grief, death."
He stated that it was time for Zelenskyy to make a deal, seemingly referencing a heated exchange between the two leaders during a meeting in early 2025. The President's comments come as he gears up for key midterm elections, in which the make-up of Congress will be determined for his final two years in office. Zelenskyy's meeting with the US delegation also involved Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, but it has further soured the relationship between the two leaders.
