Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he does not know if Donald Trump will support Ukraine if he is elected US president in November.

Mr Zelensky, speaking in Washington ahead of this week’s Nato summit, said he hoped Trump would not leave the 75-year-old Nato alliance and that America would continue to aid its defence against the bloody Russian invasion that has been raging for more than two years.

“I don’t know (him) very well,” Mr Zelensky said of his relationship with Trump , the presumptive republican nominee for presidency.

He added that he had “good meetings” with him during Trump’s first presidency, but added that it was before Russia’s invasion in 2022.

“I can’t tell you what he will do, if he will be the president of the United States. I don’t know.”

Trump has frequently criticised the extent of US military support for Ukraine - some $60 billion (£46.9 billion) since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 - and called Mr Zelensky “the greatest salesman ever.”
