On tonight’s episode of Politic Nation, America’s allies and adversaries are reacting to the notable exchange between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office.
Tensions have risen regarding peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, as Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance criticized Zelensky for not adequately showing gratitude for U.S. support. Negotiations are currently on hold, and an agreement for U.S. access to Ukrainian mineral resources remains unsigned.

We will explore the political fallout from this meeting and provide updates on budget negotiations in Congress. Additionally, breaking news from New York City reveals that former Governor Andrew Cuomo is announcing his campaign for mayor.
