Secretary of State Marco Rubio pushed back against the possibility Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be “bullied” Monday at his White House visit, where he will be accompanied by several European Union leaders.

Zelensky’s meeting at the White House comes three days after President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, a meeting Trump said went “very well” on Truth Social.
