Trump–Zelensky clash exposes US–EU rift over Ukraine | Thomas Roper interview

Trump is warning Zelensky to make a deal as tensions grow over Ukraine and Russian energy. War correspondent Thomas Roper argues the confrontation reflects a deeper dispute between Washington and Brussels.

Roper discusses the diesel deal, Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure and drone attacks during a U.S. envoy’s visit. He also examines Europe’s support for Kiev, Ukraine’s worsening negotiating position and Trump’s focus on American weapons sales and political gains.
