Zelensky (Almost) Says Sorry

Ukrainian President ready to work under Trump’s leadership after “regrettable” showdown.

Today, we discuss President Zelensky saying that Ukraine is "ready to work under President Trump's strong leadership" to negotiate a peace deal.

This comes after the US announced it would pause military aid to Ukraine, which has caused alarm across Europe. Adam speaks to the 91ȱ’s chief presenter, Caitriona Perry and 91ȱ international editor, Jeremy Bowen.

And, the US and European stock markets fell after President Trump's 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico began. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said the tariffs are "a very dumb thing to do". We speak to the 91ȱ’s economics editor, Faisal Islam.
