amsterdam - Years of animosity between Trump and Zelensky boiled down to one phone call. Find out how their relationship soured.

Quid Pro Quo and the Fallout

In 2019, Volodymyr Zelensky found himself embroiled in the first impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump. The ingredients of $400 million in military aid and compromising material on the Bidens seemed trivial by 2025. But did this lead to Trump's disdain for Zelensky?

The rapid rapprochement with Russia, a $500 billion claim, and Trump's insults branding his Ukrainian counterpart as a dictator all hint at a personal vendetta against Zelensky.

The rift began in the summer of 2019 when showman Zelensky, just two months into his presidency, and businessman Trump, gearing up for his re-election campaign, had a phone call on July 25, 2019. Trump congratulated Zelensky on his parliamentary victory and hinted at an investigation into the Bidens.

The aftermath of the call led to explosive revelations and an impeachment saga that ultimately ended in acquittal for Trump. Despite Zelensky's cautious approach, the fallout was inevitable.

Fast forward to 2025, and Zelensky is expected to sign an agreement in the White House, sharing Ukraine's future mineral revenues with the US. This move is framed as a repayment for past aid rather than a promise of future support, leaving Ukraine in a delicate position.

Trump's aversion towards Ukraine, fueled by the Bidens' saga, has reshaped geopolitics and strained international relations. Zelensky's defiance and refusal to be a pawn in Trump's political games have only intensified the animosity between the two leaders.

As Zelensky weighs the costs of a White House visit, the geopolitical chessboard continues to shift, with Trump's legacy casting a long shadow over US-Ukraine relations.
