Trump and Vance Bully Zelenskyy: Oval Office Outburst Sparks Outrage
A White House meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy, with Vice President Vance present, deteriorated into a contentious exchange. Trump and Vance berated Zelenskyy, demanding greater gratitude for U.S. aid and pressuring him to accept an undefined peace deal, even threatening to withdraw support. Zelenskyy, seeking security guarantees against future Russian aggression, left without a minerals agreement. The incident drew widespread condemnation, with observers characterizing the meeting as an ambush and U.S. lawmakers expressing profound embarrassment over the administration’s conduct.
