NATO Chief Warns of Possible Trump-Zelensky Clash At June Summit, Urges Kyiv To Stay In Sync With US

Tensions between the U.S. and Ukraine are casting a shadow over the upcoming NATO summit, with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte voicing concern about a potential clash between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Rutte fears renewed friction could embarrass Zelensky and undermine the summit’s unity. The warning follows a heated Oval Office meeting in February that escalated into a public spat. Rutte has reportedly urged Zelensky to mend ties with Trump, as his leadership faces a critical test during the high-stakes gathering.
