Trump SNUBS European Leaders At White House| Macron, Ursula, Starmer & Rutte Left WITHOUT US Welcome

A visible rift between the U.S. and Europe emerged as President Trump skipped the welcome for top EU leaders, leaving Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and NATO’s Mark Rutte without a presidential greeting. Instead, Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley received them. The snub comes amid growing disagreements over Ukraine, as Trump pushes for a land swap deal while Europe remains firm against territorial concessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wearing his trademark military jacket, was the focal point of the high-stakes White House meeting. #Trump #EU #USPolitics #Europe #Zelensky #WhiteHouse #UkraineWar #Macron #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #KeirStarmer #MarkRutte #NATO #DiplomaticRift #GlobalPolitics #USvsEU #TrumpSnubs #PoliticalDrama #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineWar #TransatlanticRelations #EUUS #BreakingNews #WorldPolitics #TrumpNews #HighStakes #ZelenskyVisit #TradeOff #DiplomaticTensions #GlobalNews Also Read European Leaders Arrive At White House To Meet Trump On Ending Russia's War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/european-leaders-arrive-at-white-house-to-meet-trump-on-ending-russias-war-7833821.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Says Russia “Lost An Oil Client” India After Washington Announced Tariffs :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-tariffs-hit-india-as-trump-says-russia-has-lost-an-oil-client-7831511.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Maduro Breaks Silence As U.S Stations Warships Off Venezuela Coasts|China Denounces Trump’s Actions

Tensions are escalating in the Caribbean as the United States deploys three Aegis-equipped guided-missile destroyers — USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, and USS Sampson — off the Venezuelan coast. The move comes just days after Washington raised its bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to $50 million, accusing him of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking. Maduro condemned the U.S. naval deployment as “illegal” and a blatant “regime change attempt,” warning that any aggression against Venezuela would amount to an attack on all of Latin America and the Caribbean. In a pointed message, he invoked China, brandishing a Huawei phone allegedly gifted by Xi Jinping, and mocked U.S. efforts while showcasing ties with Beijing. China has strongly opposed the U.S. buildup, accusing Washington of violating sovereignty. With mounting pressure, Maduro faces heightened risks while aligning with Russia, Iran, and China against U.S. policies in the region. #Venezuela #Maduro #USWarships #USSGravely #USSJasonDunham #USSSampson #China #XiJinping #LatinAmerica #USVenezuelaTensions #MaduroWanted #NarcoTerrorism #DrugTrafficking #CaribbeanCrisis #RegimeChange #USMilitary #SouthAmerica #Geopolitics #Huawei #MaduroVsUS ~ED.346~GR.122~HT.96~
