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~

U.S Democrats Clash With Rubio Over Israel’s Bombardment On Journalists | Gaza War Latest [Video]

U.S Democrats Clash With Rubio Over Israel’s Bombardment On Journalists | Gaza War Latest

Seventeen U.S. Senate Democrats, led by a Jewish senator, are demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed six journalists, including prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif. Lawmakers called the strike part of Israel’s “systematic targeting of journalists,” accusing the Israeli government of silencing media voices exposing Gaza’s devastation. In their letter, the senators urged Rubio to press Israel for transparency, citing violations of international law and warning of risks to U.S. credibility and national security. Israel has claimed al-Sharif was tied to Hamas, but has offered no compelling evidence. The senators argue that targeting journalists is unacceptable and have demanded greater media access inside Gaza. The call underscores rising political pressure in Washington over Israel’s conduct in the war and its treatment of reporters covering one of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones. #Israel #Gaza #Journalists #PressFreedom #MarcoRubio #Democrats #USPolitics #HumanRights #MediaFreedom #AlJazeera #AnasAlSharif #MiddleEast #IDF #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #FreePress #Washington #Accountability #StopTargetingJournalists #GlobalNews
