Donald Trump leaned into his personal feud with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday.
The US president sat down for an interview with Fox News and reacted to criticism of his conduct during an Oval Office meeting with the Ukrainian leader more than a week ago in which Trump and Vice President JD Vance appeared to gang up on the European leader.

“Nobody has been tougher on Russia than Donald Trump,” declared the president.
