The US Ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland, testified before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Thursday about his role in the ongoing controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s July phone-call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In his opening remarks, Sondland highlighted the significance of Ukraine to maintaining stability in Europe, and how the election of Zelensky offered an opportunity to solidify the US-Ukraine partnership. To that end, Sondland recommended Trump call Zelensky days after the election.
