Republican presidential candidate and Trump rival Chris Christie met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv, underscoring strong US support for its fight against Russia
Christie, once an ally of former President Donald Trump, is challenging him for their party's nomination in the 2024 election - and drawing a stark contrast on Ukraine with front-runner Trump.Christie visited Ukraine a day after Trump returned to Washingtonto federal charges he orchestrated a plot to try to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
Christie said he came to Ukraine to give Americans a view of the war and its toll and he emphasized that he wanted U.S. support to continue. The United States has provided billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine to defend itself. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a distant second in public opinion polls, this year suggested that the war was simply a "territorial dispute" before backtracking.
