Following Trump’s lead, his allies lash out at Ukraine’s Zelenskyy and suggest he may need to resign
SUMMARY: During a European summit, Ukrainian President Volodyr Zelenskyy faced criticism from President Trump’s aides and congressional Republicans, who demanded he express more gratitude for U.S. support and consider concessions to Russia. Some suggested he should resign following a contentious Oval Office meeting with Trump and Vice President JD Vance. National security adviser Mike Waltz argued that Zelenskyy’s actions were disrespectful, questioning his readiness to negotiate peace.

The US has revoked visas for South Sudanese while civil war threatens at home
SUMMARY: The Trump administration revoked visas for all South Sudanese citizens, citing the government’s failure to accept the return of its citizens. South Sudan, struggling with instability since gaining independence in 2011, faces civil war, corruption, and humanitarian crises. The country’s fragile peace agreement is unraveling, and tensions between President Salva Kiir and rival Riek Machar persist. The U.S. had granted South Sudanese temporary protected status due to insecurity, but it expires in May. Amid reduced aid and mounting violence, the Trump administration’s decision marks a sharp shift from earlier support, with South Sudan’s future remaining uncertain.
