Trump Wanted to Ditch Zelensky Meeting? Macron’s Last-Minute Call Changed Everything | Big Reveal
Trump was reportedly reluctant to host Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky this Friday, with the White House initially planning to cancel the meeting.
However, a dramatic last-minute intervention by French President Emmanuel Macron seemingly forced a reversal.
Zelensky, in the US for a rare earths deal signing, reached out to Macron, who then pressured Trump to proceed with the talks.
While Trump downplayed the situation, insiders suggest tensions over Ukraine’s resource-sharing proposal and Zelensky’s public defiance of Trump had soured relations.

Zelensky appeared visibly caught off-guard when President Cyril Ramaphosa publicly declared that Ukraine was ready for an unconditional ceasefire. The statement—dropped like a diplomatic bombshell—came during joint remarks and stunned observers, raising questions about Zelensky's true stance on peace negotiations. As Ramaphosa positioned Africa as a key player in ending the Russia-Ukraine war, Zelensky remained tight-lipped, sparking a media frenzy and speculation about behind-the-scenes tensions

Putin has launched a scathing attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of violating the proposed Easter ceasefire nearly 4,900 times within 48 hours. According to Russian officials, over 90 drone strikes and the use of U.S.-supplied HIMARS rockets were reported in just 30 hours. Moscow claims Zelensky deliberately shattered the truce, treating Easter as a “signal for war.” The Kremlin also accused Kyiv of following Western orders to sabotage peace talks and prolong the conflict. The tension mounts as Trump also expresses growing frustration with Zelensky's peace approach.

China is ramping up its trade war rhetoric with the U.S., urging President Trump to remove sweeping tariffs if the dispute is to be resolved. The Chinese Commerce Ministry emphasizes the need for "extreme scenario thinking" to manage trade risks as tensions rise. Despite claims of active talks from the Trump administration, China denies any negotiations are ongoing. Meanwhile, retaliatory measures continue, including China's refusal to send Boeing planes back and imposing a 125% tariff on U.S. products. The standoff shows no signs of easing as both sides dig in.
