Trump's Row with Zelensky Sparks Republican Unity
The majority of Republicans have rallied behind US President Donald Trump after his public row with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, with many criticizing Zelensky for overplaying his hand. Senator Lindsey Graham suggested Zelensky should resign following the altercation, while others, such as Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, praised Trump's actions. The extraordinary row culminated in Zelensky being asked to leave the White House without signing a deal with the US that would have jointly developed Ukraine's valuable minerals.
