Trump-Zelensky meeting ended abruptly amid tensions, jeopardising U.S. support for Ukraine against Russian aggression and peace efforts.

In Short

Ukrainian President Zelensky’s meeting with Trump at the White House ended abruptly after a tense disagreement over Russian aggression and U.S. military support. Despite Zelensky’s optimism for a minerals agreement and ongoing U.S. backing, the confrontation revealed significant discord and raised concerns about Ukraine’s security.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s crucial meeting with President Trump at the White House ended abruptly after a tense exchange regarding Russian aggression.

The meeting aimed to strengthen U.S. support for Ukraine but quickly deteriorated as Trump accused Zelensky of risking global conflict.

Trump expressed displeasure with Zelensky, stating he had “disrespected” the Oval Office, and concluded the meeting prematurely, leaving the future of U.S. military support uncertain.

Zelensky had hoped to secure a minerals agreement, linking economic support to Ukraine’s defence against Russia. The fallout from the meeting raises concerns about the potential deployment of a European peacekeeping force, which relies on U.S. backing.

Following the meeting, Zelensky tweeted gratitude towards the U.S. for its support, emphasising Ukraine’s need for lasting peace. However, the confrontation highlighted significant discord, as Zelensky urged caution around Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Trump suggested Ukraine accepted its weak negotiating position.

During the exchange, Trump argued that Ukraine’s military could not succeed without U.S. assistance, asserting that they would have lost the war quickly without it. Tensions escalated further as Trump painted a bleak picture of Ukraine’s military standing.

Despite the situation, some U.S. senators expressed hopes that the public confrontation would not undermine support for Ukraine. Nevertheless, recent weeks have seen heightened difficulties for Zelensky amid shifting U.S. policy toward Russia, raising fears over Ukraine’s long-term security.

Trump orders Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, raising concerns over arms race and global safety

In Short:
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing immediately, aiming to align with testing programs from other countries according to the conversation.Resuming explosive nuclear tests would likely trigger retaliatory responses from nuclear-armed nations like Russia and China, worsening the arms race and increasing global risks.

The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.

Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.

Proliferation Risks

Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.

Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.

The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.

The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
