Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s fiery Oval Office exchange with President Trump may have been influenced by the “gift” he chose to give the commander-in-chief during the highly televised meeting. Zelensky brought the championship belt of Oleksandr Usyk, the current world heavyweight boxing champion, during his February White House visit and planned to hand it to Trump as a show of good will, he told Time magazine on Monday in his first major interview since the Oval Office clash. The belt was next to him on a table when the sit-down between the two world leaders and Vice President JD Vance began.
