President Donald Trump read a letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Congress on March 4, following a heated meeting at the White House on February 28. During that meeting, Trump accused Zelenskyy of “gambling with World War III” and criticized his handling of the ongoing conflict with Russia. The tensions led to a canceled joint press conference and an exchange where US Vice President JD Vance noted Zelenskyy hadn’t thanked the US for its support.
Despite the conflict, Zelenskyy sent a letter expressing Ukraine’s readiness to negotiate for peace and reaffirming gratitude for U.S. support. Trump praised the letter and suggested that peace talks with Russia were ongoing, although he didn’t provide specifics. He emphasized the need for dialogue with both sides to end the war.
Trump also highlighted his administration’s success and thanked Elon Musk for leading the Department of Government Efficiency.
