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~

A rare earthquake struck the New York–New Jersey region late Saturday night, sparking online panic and raising fresh concerns over seismic preparedness in one of the most densely populated parts of the U.S. The 3.0 magnitude tremor hit six miles beneath Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, at 10:18 PM, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
