Opinion: Trump’s treatment of Zelensky shows an ugly truth at the White House

The recent meeting between President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky quickly turned tense and uncomfortable.

Zelensky, seeking support for a minerals deal, was verbally attacked by Trump and Vance, who criticized him for not being more appreciative of U.S. aid and urged him to work for a ceasefire with Russia.

Despite the verbal onslaught, Zelensky remained calm and stood his ground, which led to his early departure from the White House. The incident, watched by the world, may have harmed Ukraine’s relationship with the U.S. and weakened their position in the eyes of Russia.

Trump’s harsh comments, including calling Biden “stupid” and telling Zelensky, “You’re not winning this,” were also disappointing. Such confrontations should not be aired publicly, as world leaders must maintain decorum and show respect for one another.
