GOP senators urge Trump to salvage negotiations with Zelensky [View all]
(The Hill) Republican lawmakers are urging President Trump to salvage negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in hopes of reaching a peace deal that halts Russian encroachment and possibly gives the United States access to Ukraines rich mineral wealth.
GOP senators say they hope Trump and Zelensky can put Fridays heated exchange in the Oval Office behind them, recognizing that continued U.S. support for Ukraine is critical to maintaining Kyivs leverage in peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The deterioration of that meeting was highly unfortunate given the stakes involved. There is no doubt that Putin was the aggressor in Ukraine and launched a brutal, unprovoked attack, said Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine), a leading Republican voice on national security issues.
