WASHINGTON (AP) — Key Republicans and Democrats in Congress have been stalwart supporters of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but the blowup between the Ukrainian leader and President Donald Trump is threatening to change that.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted a series of pointed messages on X after Friday’s disastrous Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump. “Thank you, America. Thank you for your support. Thank you for this visit. Thank you, @POTUS, Congress, and the American people,” Zelensky wrote just 40 minutes after he left the White House. More than 15 million users have since seen the post. Some users have interpreted the post—stacked with four “thank yous”—as a response to earlier remarks
The president's previous words came back to haunt him.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) strongly criticized President Trump for yelling at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during an Oval Office meeting Friday, saying, “History will remember this day.” Trump and Vice President Vance got into a spat with the visiting Ukrainian leader in which Trump raised his voice and called Zelensky “disrespectful” in front of…

Prince Harry seemed to take a pointed swipe at President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the MAGA movement in general during a surprise speech at a tech conference on Thursday. Although the royal’s remarks at the Upfront Summit in Los Angeles centered around his approach to investing “through the lens of service,” he eventually took a sharp turn into politics. “Now, this would be a great time to talk about how a sickness in leadership across sectors, from politics to tech, can have a detrimental ef
Elon Musk falsely accused prominent lawyer and former CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen of leading a “crime family” after Musk found out about a woman with the same last name who worked for an organization that accepted funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The only problem? The woman, Tamar Eisen, is of no relation to Norm Eisen. On X, Musk amplified a post which falsely stated that Tamar, an employee of the nonprofit National Democratic Institute, was Eisen’s daughter.

The meeting blew up in front of the cameras when the American vice president began lecturing the Ukrainian leader
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for being “disrespectful” Friday in an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, then abruptly called off the signing of a minerals deal with the U.S. that Trump said would have moved Ukraine closer to ending its war with Russia.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed Friday that he received President Trump’s approval to repeal restrictions on military raids and airstrikes, signaling a stark shift away from regulations imposed during the previous administration. The Pentagon leader said CBS News was “correct” in its reporting of a directive signed earlier this month in Germany that would ease restraints and executive oversight on foreign American airstrikes. Hegseth formally approved…
Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donalds has said some unkind things about Canada. But when the Trump ally welcomed Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman into his Capitol Hill office, it started out all smiles."I hear that you have just announced that you're running for governor," Hillman enthused. "Congratulations!"Donalds — who has complained about Canada as a source of "unacceptable" drugs and immigration and trash-talked Canada's 4 Nations hockey team — thanked Hillman and mentioned all the Canadians who winter in Florida.With exclusive access to Hillman's campaign to stave off U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, CBC Radio's The House asked Donalds what message he would give U.S. President Donald Trump about Canada."Right now we have a great relationship with Canada," he said brightly. Whatever happens in the coming months and years, Donalds said, "I think the president understands that and he wants to continue having a great dialogue with our neighbours to the north."Rep. Byron Donalds met with Hillman in his Capitol Hill office, where the ambassador pointed out that the fruits grown in his district are bought by Canadians. (Alex Brandon/The Associated Press)In a day of wall-to-wall meetings with U.S. lawmakers, the niceties aren't the most important part, said Hillman."People to your face most often will just say very nice things. That's why we have to get in there with the facts that matter to him," said Hillman. The conversation became more pointed when CBC left the room, she explained later.Hillman and her team of diplomats were in the midst of a blitz of some 75 meetings over two days to get Trump to back off his threat to impose economy-choking tariffs on almost all Canadian goods. Many American politicians, Republican and Democrat, are willing to extol Canada's virtues as a neighbour and trading partner, either in public or behind closed doors. But Hillman's challenge, now crucial to Canada's economy, is to make sure the message gets through to Trump."We have leaned as far into this as any partner and neighbour could do. So if this tariff threat materializes on Monday, it is not because Canada did not take this very seriously and do everything we can," said Hillman.Maple syrup, mittens for 'Canada Day' on Capitol HillPart of that effort played out on Tuesday in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol. In a large, grey marble room with soaring ceilings, Hillman and her team have put up displays trumpeting Canada's trade with the U.S. and reassuring statistics about the border. There's free pizza from a restaurant with ties to Canada and on nearby tables, visitors can grab red and white mittens, Canadian water and maple syrup.Hillman said her personal goal is to get every Washington staffer to have a sticker that reads 'tariffs on allies hurt Americans' on their laptops. (Jennifer Chevalier/CBC)It's "Canada Day" on the Hill, an annual event to celebrate and reinforce the Canada-U.S. relationship. In the Rayburn Foyer, Hillman said on Tuesday the room is set up like a job fair with Canadian immigration and border officials roaming around."As people are waiting to get their pizza and their Tim Hortons, they get to talk to all of our amazing Canadian professionals," she said.The goal at large for this event is to lure in politicians and staff with free food — like Hawaiian pizza, a Canadian invention — and Canada merchandise. But Hillman had a more specific plan in mind: handing out stickers that read "tariffs on allies hurt Americans.""My personal goal is to have every staffer have that sticker on their laptop … and [get] the tariffs off [Canada]," Hillman said.Dozens of people gathered Tuesday in the Rayburn Foyer in Washington, D.C., for Canada Day on the Hill, an annual event celebrating the Canada-U.S. relationship. Hillman said the room is set up like a job fair, this year featuring Canadian immigration and border officials roaming around. (Jennifer Chevalier/CBC)Ryan Shelby, a former foreign service engineering officer for the U.S. Agency for International Development who attended the event, said Canadians are "our allies, our friends and it's always good to see such amazing partnership."When asked what he would say to Canadians unnerved by Trump's stance on Canada, Shelby said despite trials and tribulations, Canada and the United States are still family to each other."Family fights, and family makes up, and family gets back together, no matter what," Shelby said.Can Canada get its message through?Not everyone is so easily won over, suggested Canada's leading diplomat on the ground in Dallas, Consul General Susan Harper.According to the Office of the Texas Governor, Canada was the state's third-largest import source country in 2022 with $32.9B US in imports. Texas also exported $38.4B US to Canada the same year.And yet, Harper said she's struck when she goes into a room with Americans "and this isn't even on their radar."Since Texas neighbours Mexico, border issues are "paramount" in the state, Harper said. She added the state sees fentanyl as a "North American issue that needs to be dealt with" and Canada agrees with that assessment.Susan Harper, Canada's consul general based in Texas, said Americans may not fully grasp the gravity of Trump's tariffs until the U.S. president actually imposes them on Canada, and Canadian officials respond with their own countermeasures. (Jennifer Chevalier/CBC)"We want to work together. We think we are indicating that every way that we can, but it doesn't mean everybody has that message right away," Harper said.She suggested it may take until Trump actually levels the tariffs — and Canada responds with countermeasures — for the gravity of the situation to sink in for Americans."It's when [the tariff] hits that I think a lot more people are going to be aware why this is not in the U.S. interest. But it's only when Americans say that to Americans that it will register," Harper said.Visitors who attended Canada Day on the Hll could grab Canadian water, red and white mittens and maple syrup. (Jennifer Chevalier/CBC)It's a different story for Colin Bird, Canada's consul general in Detroit, who said his region "absolutely recognizes that [tariffs] would be a body blow to the auto sector in the United States, particularly the Great Lakes economy."In conversations he's had with elected leaders, Bird said there is still hope that Trump is using tariffs as leverage to get concessions out of countries like Canada — but the reaction could change if the president follows through."I think if we are at a point where tariffs are actually being imposed, there will be more voices in the mix," Bird said.A Trump ally on how Canada can do moreAt Canada Day on the Hill, California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa shares his advice for Canadians on dealing with Trump by borrowing a hockey term"You've got to go where the puck is, and you've got to know where you want it to go," Issa said.In his view, Canada needs to play the long game and ask Trump what he wants for his other irritants like the trade deficit, which has also fuelled the tariff threats.Rep. Darrell Issa said Canada should be thinking about how to meet Trump's long-term goals. (J. Scott Applewhite/The Associated Press)"Both sides are going to have to figure out what they don't sell each other. On the other hand, if you want to keep down the barriers and have a free flow, let's talk about the details it takes," Issa said."I believe there's a deal that's fair," Issa added. "And it's not outcome driven, it's process driven."He also points to Canada's Goods and Services Tax (GST) as a trade irritant, suggesting it's a tariff by another name.Above all, Canada should keep coming back to the table with different proposals to see what the president thinks, Issa said."President Trump is never closed from further discussion. The important thing is to come back every time you get a no. Come back with something new. President Trump is a negotiator who never walks away from the table.""Ultimately, we're close friends and allies, and I believe this is going to be resolved. Should it be sooner rather than later? Yes," Issa said.The new fentanyl czarOn Wednesday, Canada's new fentanyl czar Kevin Brosseau was a star attraction at several of the meetings with U.S. lawmakers."Having somebody who's first and foremost being the point person singularly focused on dealing with a fentanyl scourge in Canada and at the border is important for them," said Brosseau in one of his first interviews since taking on the new role."It's resonated really well. I'd say the reaction has been very positive."Kevin Brosseau, Canada's new fentanyl czar, met with U.S. officials on Thursday as part of the federal government's push to show success at the Canada-U.S. border. (Jennifer Chevalier/CBC)Statistics from U.S. officials suggest that Canada is responsible for just 0.2 per cent of the seized fentanyl that enters from the northern and southern border.When asked if there was a risk of overstating the problem coming from Canada by appointing a "czar," Brosseau said the point is to deal with a drug problem that is costing lives on both sides of the border."We all know there's a problem. And frankly, this will help the U.S. in dealing with their problem and help Canada at the same time."WATCH | RCMP, CBSA heads discuss Canada's recent fentanyl seizures:Public Safety Minister David McGuinty said Thursday that Canada has acted on U.S. concerns about border security and fentanyl trafficking, even as Trump continues to insist economy-wide tariffs will go ahead."Any test that was put on this country, on Canada, in terms of showing progress and meeting standards for the border — I believe those have been met," McGuinty said outside the White House.Coming out of meeting with Brosseau and other Canadian officials, Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar said she was "really impressed" to hear from him and learn more about what Canada is doing to tackle the fentanyl issue.When asked if the Canadian government is doing enough to meet Trump's bar, Klobuchar said she can't predict everything Trump is going to do, "but what I can say is that it's enough to meet my bar."A red notebook, a questionable claimHillman's meeting with Donalds came at the end of a long day. As she waited in the hallway outside his office, she pulled out her red notebook to make a point about how U.S. lawmakers feel about Canada."I'm not going to attribute this to anybody," Hillman said of the words that came from "a Republican" during the briefing with the Senate's homeland security committee. "One of them said — hang on here," Hillman said as she scanned the notebook. "'There is no stronger ally or friend for the United States than Canada. All Americans understand that, everybody in this House understands that and we know that we would not be able to be the country we are without you as a neighbour.'"Hillman prepares for a meeting outside Rep. Byron Donalds' office in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. (Jennifer Chevalier/CBC)In order to get Canada's message across, Hillman isn't relying only on warm words about friendship.Sitting in her office after she spoke to Donalds, she gave the example of her conversation with the Florida congressman.His district sells a lot of fruits and vegetables, Hillman said, the vast majority of which are purchased by Canadians. "I said, 'Those tariffs go on, we will put in counter-tariffs. You will not sell to us anymore. We will be buying from, I don't know, Chile, Mexico, Peru? I don't know where, but not your congressional district.'"It's good when people enthuse about Canada or say they have a cousin in Toronto, she noted, but it's also important to get down to business."And business is: If you do this, this will hurt you. We won't stand for it and we will fight back," Hillman said. "This is not how friends treat friends.""We can help you or we can go forward in a place that will cause a lot of pain on both sides."WATCH | Canadian officials in Washington highlight Canada's efforts to secure the border:While Hillman said she's confident in Canada's efforts, she didn't rule out tariffs hitting Canada next week or beyond."I don't necessarily feel that we will get to where we need to go without it being painful," she said. "It could be tough."With Trump repeatedly suggesting Canada should become the 51st state, does Hillman believe the Canada-U.S. relationship can go back to the status quo once Trump leaves office?The current moment is going to change Canada, Hillman said, though not necessarily in a bad way. She hopes the country can orient itself in a way that makes it stronger, more competitive, more resilient and more independent.But going back to the relationship before Trump is unlikely."I don't think anything goes back," Hillman said. "I think we just go forward."
As Ukrainian troops try to stave off Russia's military from advancing through the eastern part of the country, they face tens of thousands of enemy soldiers.But when Ukraine's president sat in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon, he faced a different kind of battle — the blunt testiness of the U.S. Trump administration. The combative exchange left Ukraine's allies and many of its citizens in shock and dismay. Yet for others, there was pride in how Volodymyr Zelenskyy stood his ground."I was angr
