Trump Calls on Zelensky to Show More Gratitude for U.S. Assistance
President Donald Trump has urged Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky to demonstrate greater appreciation for the unwavering support provided by the United States amid Russia’s ongoing invasion. Speaking at the White House on February 28, 2025, Trump reiterated the U.S. commitment to assisting Ukraine while also stressing the importance of acknowledgment from Kyiv.
“Well, I just think he should be more appreciative, because this country has stuck with them through thick and thin,” Trump told reporters during a briefing.
Military Aid and Minerals Deal Discussion
Trump was also questioned about a minerals trade agreement between Washington and Kyiv, which was reportedly aimed at contributing to conflict resolution. Dismissing concerns over its failure, Trump stated, “No, I don’t think so,” implying the deal remains active.
When asked whether he was considering halting military aid to Ukraine, Trump clarified, “I haven’t even talked about that right now. I mean, right now, we’ll see what happens. A lot of things are happening right now as we speak.”
The President emphasized that circumstances were constantly shifting, adding, “I could give you an answer and go back to my office — the beautiful Oval Office — and find out that the answer is obsolete.”
Implications for U.S.-Ukraine Relations
Trump’s remarks highlight ongoing tensions between the two nations regarding expectations of gratitude and support. While the U.S. continues to back Ukraine, the evolving geopolitical landscape suggests that future aid and agreements could be subject to change.
