EU's Kallas urges new leadership after Trump-Zelensky clash

Following a tense confrontation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, European leaders expressed solidarity with Ukraine. Trump accused Zelensky of recklessly endangering global security and warned that Ukraine could lose U.S. support if he did not negotiate a peace deal with Russia. Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign affairs chief, stated that the 'free world needs a new leader' and reaffirmed Europe's commitment to supporting Ukraine in its fight against aggression. The clash left Ukraine's future uncertain, as it risks losing its most important ally amid Trump's America First stance. Zelensky left the White House early after the heated exchange, which was triggered by questions about diplomacy with Russia, emphasizing the need for a just and lasting peace for Ukraine. The incident has heightened tensions and drawn reactions from Kremlin officials, further complicating the geopolitical landscape.
