Summary

During a heated Oval Office meeting, Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, demanding he accept a peace deal with Russia or lose U.S. support.

Trump repeatedly cut Zelenskiy off, accused him of lacking gratitude, and defended Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also ranted about past U.S. elections and personal grievances.

Following the meeting, Trump posted on Truth Social, claiming Zelenskiy “is not ready for peace.”

The U.S. and Russia recently held talks without Ukraine, raising concerns over sidelining Kyiv in negotiations.

    I know Europeans hate us Americans and I understand why. I’ve never supported Trump and have fought with my dollar, vote, and time, but I am just too ashamed to show my face in the EU any time soon.

      Most Europeans don’t hate Americans and those who do are not worth being around anyway.

      On the other hand… Yeah, your leadership’s right now really sucks.

      But if I had to wait for presentable leadership of my country to show my face abroad, I’d still be living at my parents…
