Trump and Zelensky鈥檚 war of words
The US and Ukrainian presidents get into a public row.
As the Trump administration begins peace talks with Russian officials to end the war in Ukraine, President Trump himself seems to be blaming Ukraine for it beginning at all. We ask, whose side is he on?
Justin, Marianna and Anthony also look at what Zelensky means when he says Trump is 鈥渓iving in a disinformation space鈥.
