Trump met with the Ukrainian President earlier today (28 Feb)
During a meeting at the White House earlier today, United States President, Donald Trump warned Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy he’s ‘gambling’ with World World III’.
The world leaders spoke in the Oval Office to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the subsequent war.
Joined by Vice President JD Vance, Trump and Zelenskyy clashed in a brutal row, where the former also told the latter he was acting ‘disrespectful’.”You’re gambling with millions of people seeing you gambling with World War Three. You’re gambling with World War Three,” 78-year-old Republican leader told Zelenskyy.
Trump and Vance also slammed the Ukrainian, 47, as not being ‘thankful’ for the military support the US supposedly gave to Ukraine.
Last week, Trump branded Zelenskyy a ‘dictator’ last week during discussions about war.
Speaking in Florida on 19 February – as per the BBC – Trump alleged that the only thing Zelenskyy ‘was really good at was playing Joe Biden like a fiddle’.
His comments came after the Ukrainian leader reacted to conversations between the US and Russia, from which Kyiv was excluded.
Zelenskyy claimed at the time that the US President was ‘living in a disinformation space’.
In response, Trump initially shared a post on his own social media page Truth Social, accusing the Ukrainian of doing ‘a terrible job, his country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died’.
In a speech made later that day, he branded Zelensky a ‘dictator’, adding: “He refuses to have elections. He’s low in the real Ukrainian polls.
“How can you be high with every city being demolished?”
More to come.
