House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized today that the United States is not aligned with Russia, despite recent claims by the Kremlin. Johnson expressed the need to bring an end to the ongoing war and highlighted President Trump's efforts to facilitate a peace agreement.
During a meeting in the Oval Office, President Trump reportedly had a tense exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which resulted in the latter not signing a proposed minerals deal. Johnson expressed hope that Zelensky would reconsider the deal, as he believes it could be a solution to the current challenges.
