According to the publication, Trump's criticism was triggered by Kellogg's statements made at the Munich Security Conference in February.

When Keith Kellogg visited the Oval Office, Trump took the opportunity to ask again, "Do you really think Zelensky is in a difficult situation and is brave?"

The special envoy replied, "Yes, that's true. Ukraine is fighting for the survival of the country. When was the last time an American president faced something like this? It was Abraham Lincoln."

Later, discussing this situation with other advisors, Trump commented, "He's an idiot," according to the article.

In November 2025, Trump appointed a new special representative for Ukraine, who became Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.

Keith Kellogg will conclude his work in the Trump administration in January 2026, when his term ends.
