Asked if he is Trump's 'scapegoat': Zelensky pauses, then smiles

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement that the US-Russia leaders' phone call and the diesel deal left him feeling "betrayed". (AP)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky paused for about 15 seconds and broke into a smile before replying, "This is my answer", when a Sky News reporter asked at a press conference in Brussels on Friday (Oct. 16) whether US President Donald Trump was using him as a "scapegoat" for domestic problems in the United States, including high diesel prices ahead of the midterm elections.

The US and Russian leaders spoke by phone on Oct. 9 and agreed on Russian diesel supplies to the United States and global markets. In a phone interview with Axios, Zelensky called the decision "not fair and not honest" and said he felt betrayed, writing on social media that allowing Russia to sell petroleum products "is an investment in the war". Trump, speaking at the White House the following day, said: "I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president", adding: "I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal."

Opinion | 'Building Bridges'- How North Korea went from isolated pariah to strategic counterweight Since 2014, a "new" bridge has stood on the Yalu River between Dandong in China and Sinuiju in North Korea. This massive white spired bridge, built by Chinese engineering, was intended to deepen economic integration between the two Communist neighbours, having previously relied on the very small, Japanese Imperial-derived railway bridge known as the "Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge." The new bridge was thus to be revolutionary, yet for reasons entirely related to the North Korean side, it didn't open.

Opinion | Behind the double 'World's No. 1': How world-class hospitality is forging a new chapter for HK tourism Bar Leone in Central, Hong Kong, was crowned the world's best bar for the second consecutive year. Barely three weeks earlier, Rosewood Hong Kong likewise retained its No. 1 ranking, becoming the only hotel to successfully defend the title since the list was founded. Bars and hotels are two mirrors of the hospitality industry. That both "world's best" titles have fallen to Hong Kong in the same year is no coincidence—it is an objective affirmation by international professional juries of the city's service standards and business environment.
