What we’re covering
• Fallout from Oval Office meeting: The reverberations of Friday’s tense meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — in which Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukrainian leader over Russia’s war on the country — are still being felt from Washington to Kyiv.

• Global reaction: European leaders held an emergency summit Sunday in London to rally support for Ukraine as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer seeks to wrestle control of negotiations away from the US. Russian officials and state media have expressed glee at the highly public diplomatic breakdown. The White House, meanwhile, is making clear it views the showdown as an overwhelming win that underscores Trump’s “America first” leadership.

Trump’s domestic agenda: Meanwhile, the Trump administration is pursuing his top priorities at home, including shaking up the federal workforce with a new round of mass emails to government employees. Meanwhile, the American public’s view of Trump’s presidency and the direction he’s leading the country is more negative than positive just ahead of his first formal address to Congress, according to a new CNN poll.

Plant owner says he hasn’t heard from the government about canceled USAID contracts

The owner of a plant in Georgia that makes a special peanut butter paste for severely malnourished children told CNN on Sunday he has yet to hear from the federal government about his company’s canceled contracts with the US Agency for International Development, hours after Elon Musk said on social media he would “investigate” and “fix it.”

“We will investigate whether this is real or not and fix it if it is,” Musk wrote on X on Sunday, in response to CNN’s reporting last week about the plant’s canceled contracts with USAID.

Mark Moore, the owner of Fitzgerald, Georgia-based MANA Nutrition, told CNN last week that his contracts with USAID were abruptly canceled.

Moore said as of Sunday afternoon, he had heard only unofficial rumblings that the contracts with MANA may be restored.

Some background: MANA Nutrition makes a special kind of peanut butter paste that is fortified with milk and essential vitamins, packed with calories and sent to severely malnourished children around the world, including some countries in Africa.

Moore said he immediately stopped using “USAID” labels on the peanut butter paste pouches since he would not be able to distribute anything labeled as such without contracts with the agency. He also said he had some 400,000 boxes of RUTF, or “Ready-for-Use Therapeutic Foods,” in his warehouse already made for USAID.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the relationship between the United States and his country “will continue” when asked by reporters in London how he would salvage it following an explosive meeting Friday with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

“I think that our relationship will continue,” Zelensky told reporters Sunday. “We are grateful to all of the societies in the countries that support us. Indeed, we are very thankful, and the bipartisan support has always been on our side, and I think at the same level, the support will continue.”

Zelensky called the US a “strategic partner,” saying it would not benefit anyone other than Russia if US assistance to Ukraine were to stop.

London summit: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer gathered European leaders for a pivotal summit in London on Sunday, as the continent sought to wrestle control of negotiations over the Russia-Ukraine war away from the US and present a united front.

Zelensky and an ensemble of European leaders were in attendance, at a moment of intense anxiety in the conflict. Starmer told reporters he was working with France and a small number of other nations to craft a ceasefire plan, which would then be presented to the US.
