The relationship between Donald Trump
and Volodymyr Zelensky hasn't been as fraught
since that contentious meeting in the Oval Office
at the beginning of last year when Zelensky was
effectively invited to leave the White House campus.
Things have been bad over the last few
days. Donald Trump saying Ukraine needs a new president.
It needs fresh elections. Volodymyr
Zelensky saying that Donald Trump's deal with Russia
to import diesel put him on the wrong side
of history. Certainly there are tensions between the two men
and that led to speculation that the
problems with Starlink were being caused by the United States.
It's either Elon Musk or the White
House. Elon Musk says it's really up to the government
to make that sort of decision. As for
Donald Trump leaving for a campaign event in Georgia,
he says it isn't him. It wasn't me and I
don't think it was Elon and from what I understand it's
the same as it's always been. Donald Trump
says the U.S. is still sharing intelligence with the Ukrainians,
but it's clear the Starlink issue
has caused some problems on the Ukrainian side,
and Donald Trump saying that this has nothing to
do with him simply won't repair
or immediately repair the relationship he has with Volodymyr
Zelensky. Alan Fisher, Al Jazeera, at the White House.
