As Donald Trump prepares for his highly anticipated joint address to Congress this evening, the fallout continues from his contentious meeting with Vladimir Zelensky last week.

Why is Trump pausing military aid to Ukraine?

Georgia Howe 1:49
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here to preview the address. But first, let's talk about Ukraine. There's been a lot of developments since that White House sit down on Friday.
Cabot Phillips 1:58
Right. Coming into Friday's meeting, basically everyone believed the U.S. and Ukraine would sign that minerals deal. And the stage would be set for a ceasefire and formal negotiations with Moscow. But after that disastrous event at the White House, everything has changed. Zelensky was in London late Sunday night seeking financial support from Prime Minister Keir Starmer and told reporters that he peace deal with Russia is, quote, still very, very far away. And no one has started all these steps yet. That just outraged Trump, who has said there could be a peace deal right now if Zelensky were willing. Here he is elaborating on that sentiment during a press conference Monday.
Donald Trump 2:34
President Zelensky supposedly made a statement today in AP. I'm not a big fan of AP, so maybe it was an incorrect statement. But he said he thinks the war is going to go on for a long time. And he better not be right about that. That's all I'm saying.
Cabot Phillips 2:49
Trump went on to discuss his shifting relationship with Zelensky.
Donald Trump 2:53
I just think you should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them through thick and thin. We've given them much more than Europe. The money is one thing, but they're losing thousands of soldiers a week. And I want to see it stop.

How are European leaders reacting to Trump's Ukraine policy?

Georgia Howe 3:08
Well, and now Trump is taking concrete steps to pull back from Ukraine. What exactly does that look like?
Cabot Phillips 3:13
Right. On Monday night, we learned that President Trump would be pausing all military aid to Ukraine. That pause will apply to all weapons, ammunition and other equipment not already inside Ukraine's borders. A White House official told The Daily Wire, quote, President Trump has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution. According to European officials, without any new weapons from the U.S., Ukraine would, at its current pace, have enough resources to last until this summer. So this could be a means of Trump attempting to force Zelensky to the negotiating table.
