On Friday, President Trump and vice -president JD Vance have loudly reproached President Volodymy Zlensky’s president of Ukraine in a game of explosive television shout unlike any other place between an American president and foreign leader in modern times.
Mr. Trump and Mr. Vance have chastised Mr. Zelensky for not having been grateful enough for us support in his war with Russia and tried to enlist him to make a peace agreement in all the terms that the Americans impose. With the rumors raised and the tempers that agitated, Trump threatened to abandon all Ukrainian completely if Mr. Zelensky did not go on.
Speaking on the Ukrainian leader, Vance told Mr. Zelensky that he was “disrespectful” for him to come to the oval office and make his case in front of the American media and asked him to thank Trump for his leadership. Mr. Trump jumped in and said to the Ukrainian leader: “You are not really in a good position right now” and that “you are playing playing with the Second World War”.
“Either you will make an agreement or we are out,” added Trump. “And if we are out, you will fight it and I don’t think it will be cute.”
A few minutes later, Mr. Trump seemed to empty the rest of the visit. “I established that President Zelenskyy is not ready for peace if America is involved, because he feels that our involvement gives him a great advantage in negotiations,” he wrote on social media. “I don’t want to advantage, I want peace. He missed respect for the United States of America in his dear oval office. He can return when he is ready for peace. “
Mr. Zelensky’s black SUV was waiting for the west wing among the expectations that would go away.
The exchange in the face of television cameras was one of the most dramatic moments ever to carry out in public in the oval office and underlined the radical break between the United States and Ukrainian since Trump entered office. Trump actually crashed with Russia as they falsely blame Ukraine for starting war and defining Mr. Zelensky a “dictator”.
On Friday in Washington of Washington, quickly, the quick visit of Zelensky had to smooth out an agreement requested by Mr. Trump in which Ukraine would have delivered many billion dollars of mineral rights to reimburse the military aid provided by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the congress for the three years since Russia is full invasion of Russia in 2022.
Mr. Trump seemed ready to make Gentile with Mr. Zelensky telling journalists on Thursday who did not remember the dictator’s comment and expressing respect for the Ukrainian leader. He welcomed Mr. Zelensky to the west gate on Friday morning with an honorable guard and they were politely close but without evident warmth.
The meeting, however, became quickly hostile shortly after sitting in the oval office with the journalists present. Mr. Zelensky, dressed in his usual dark and long -sleeved shirt, tried to explain the history of war with Russia, observing that he returned to 2014 when Moscow seized Crimea for the first time and occupied the territory in Eastern Ukraine.
But Mr. Vance interrupted abruptly and began to attack Mr. Zelensky. “I think it’s disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to fight in front of the American media,” he has kept conference. “You should thank the president.”
Mr. Zelensky accused of mounted a “propaganda tour” in the United States. “Do you think it is respectful to come to the oval office and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?”
Mr. Zelensky tried to respond to Mr. Vance’s claims And he said the United States may feel threatened by Russia one day. “You have a nice ocean and you don’t feel now, but you will feel it in the future,” he said.
This triggered Mr. Trump, who interrupted him. “Don’t tell us what we will try,” he said, raising the voice. “You are not in a good position, you don’t have the cards right now.” He added: “You are playing playing with the Second World War”.
Mr. Vance jumped inside. “Did you say thanks once?”
The bellows of Mr. Trump with Mr. Zelensky contrasts with his evaluation of Mr. Putin, who praised only since he won a second term. Just this week, the president called Mr. Putin “a very intelligent boy” and “a very cunning person”. He said he believes that Mr. Putin really wants peace and has foreseen Thursday that “will keep his word” if an agreement is reached, despite the multiple Russian violations of the agreements in the past.
While he spoke to Mr. Putin by phone, Mr. Trump gave little to understand how to expect to negotiate a fire or a lasting peace agreement. During the campaign last year, he promised to end the war within 24 hours and to do so even before his inauguration, none of which he actually did.
Since he entered office, Trump has asked that Ukraine has repaired some of his natural resources as a refund for military aid provided under President Joseph R. Biden Jr. to defend himself from Russia. While Trump repeatedly and falsely stated that the United States contributed with $ 350 billion and in Europe only $ 100 billion, in fact, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Europe has allocated $ 138 billion compared to $ 119 billion from the United States.
