Description
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham called the White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “complete, utter disaster” and said he’s “never been more proud” of President Donald Trump.
“What I saw in the Oval office was disrespectful and I don’t know if we can ever do business with Zelenskyy again,” Graham told reporters outside the West Wing.
He said Zelenskyy has “made it almost impossible to sell to the American people that he’s a good investment.”
Asked whether Zelenskyy should step aside, Graham responded: “He either needs to resign or send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change.”
This comes after President Trump cut short talks with Zelenskyy after he and and Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukraine’s leader in the Oval Office.
The breakdown of negotiations come at a pivotal and precarious moment for Ukraine as Zelenskyy sought security guarantees from the U.S. and Trump’s administration seeks to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.
