# NATO chief Mark Rutte has told Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky he needs to find a way to restore his relationship with US president Donald Trump after their clash at a White House meeting on Friday. The confrontation flared over differing views of how to end Russia’s three-year-old invasion. Rutte told Zelensky they all had to respect what Trump has done for Ukraine and reminded Zelensky that Trump was the one who provided Javelin anti-tank weapons to Ukraine in 2019 that had enabled the country’s forces to fight back after Russia’s invasion.
