During a meeting at the White House, President Trump publicly admonished Ukrainian President Zelensky, leading to a heated exchange with Vice President Vance. The discussion turned tense as Vance accused Zelensky of disrespect, prompting Trump to support this stance. Afterward, Secretary of State Rubio asked Zelensky to leave, while Trump suspended U.S. aid to Ukraine. Press secretary Leavitt praised Trump's demeanor but criticized Zelensky, despite his previous expressions of gratitude towards America. Both Leavitt and Miller hailed Trump's actions as significant, signifying a dramatic shift in diplomatic relations with Ukraine.
Zelensky's disrespect was called out in front of reporters, leading to a contentious meeting where Trump supported the Vice President's admonition.
Leavitt's portrayal of Zelensky as ungrateful contradicts his numerous acknowledgments of U.S. support, reflecting a disconnect in the narrative presented.
