The secrets

About a week ago, US President Donald Trump acknowledged that there was some tension in the relationship between him and his Ukrainian counterpart, Voludmir Zellinski, but no one expected to see the scene that exploded yesterday in the White House.

At the sight of the journalists and TV channels, Trump drew his Ukrainian guest, until he mocked him with his accent. Also surrounded by his consultant JD Vans with a harsh side.

This raised many new questions about Trump’s ability to mediate peace talks with Russia, as well as increasing European anxiety about Washington’s commitment to the security of its European allies.

But the fight also revealed some old personal hostility between the two men, and he reminded Trump’s reactions during his first term at the White House, when he called for new elections in Ukraine at the time.

The roots of the American president of his Ukrainian counterpart are due to their first phone call in 2019.

At that time, Trump Zelinski urged to search for “dirty” information about trade dealings in Ukraine, former US President Joe Biden.

However, his request at the time did not receive a listening ears in Kyiv, the least of which is the road that Trump desires. Although the American president later conversated his Ukrainian counterpart with “idealism”.

But this call or demand, then formed the basis for its first isolation by the House of Representatives. Then, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, during the presidency of Biden, Trump appeared more than once criticizing Kiev.

Since then, the Republican President did not seem to have forgotten Zeilinsky, and perhaps the mud has made the same amount of large amounts that the United States paid to Kiev, to support it in the war against Russia over the past three years, as Trump has repeatedly criticized the volume of American support provided to the Ukrainians, compared to the Europeans, calling for the recovery of part of it, through rare Ukraine minerals.

But Kiev was finally hesitant to sign the metal deal, without obtaining it from Washington, security guarantees, which increased the anger of the American administration and the Trump team, until the quarrel exploded yesterday in the White House, to ask later from Zelinski to leave while he was waiting in a room close to those that witnessed the historical and unprecedented fight, before until he had the lunch that was scheduled where the dishes remained empty, and the chef left Ukrainian empty -handed as well.
