President of Ukraine is finding his latest visit to Washington a much tougher occasion.
Zelenskiy was given a standing ovation addressing a joint sitting of Congress in December.
This time, he addressed the Senate in a closed session, but House Republicans turned down a request to address both chambers again. They are also reported to have turned down an administration briefing on Ukraine. (The USA is 150 Billion Dollars shorter by now)
Zelenskiy arrived on Capitol Hill in the midst of a bitter spending battle that could trigger a government shutdown, and he faced difficult conversations when he met congressional leaders behind closed doors.
The (deep) gravy train is drying out.
