Zelenskyy and Netanyahu brave the whims of Trump’s darkly confounding White House
Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Washington for back‑to‑back meetings with President Donald Trump, highlighting the shifting dynamics of U.S. foreign policy. Their trips coincided with the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, a longtime Republican supporter of both Israel and Ukraine. The article notes Trump’s erratic leadership and the uncertain reception each leader may receive in the White House.
- ▪Netanyahu’s political standing has fallen after a failed war‑on‑Iran initiative and he has been excluded from key negotiations involving Iran, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
- ▪Zelenskyy’s profile has risen as Ukraine has resisted Russian advances and become a leader in drone warfare, attracting support from unexpected quarters such as far‑right MAGA influencers.
- ▪Both leaders arrived in Washington amid a Trump administration described as increasingly unpredictable, with the president’s personal whims influencing diplomatic engagements.
