“It is moments like these that remind us of how true leadership looks,” he wrote. “Proud of @realdonaldtrump and @jdvance forever put to the United States first.”
Zelenskyy’s first meeting with Trump and Vance at the White House on Friday resulted in a discussion. Vance told the Ukrainian leader that a way to ensure peace between Russia and Ukraine would be through the United States participating in diplomacy. Zelenskyy then tried to participate in a line of questions about Russia’s movements since 2014 and attempts to diplomacy.
Zelenskyy then said that, under war, “everyone has problems, even you”, and that the United States would feel the war “in the future.” Trump said Zelenskyy didn’t “know” for sure what would happen. The conversation became more intense from there.

Trump told Zelenskyy that he was “playing with the lives of millions of people.”
“You are playing with World War II. You are playing with World War II, and what you are doing is very disrespectful with the country, this country, that has supported you much more than many people said they should have done it,” Trump said.
Zelenskyy appeared in the “special report” of Pak Gazette Channel. He said he wasn’t sure we “did something wrong.” The incident said with “bad for both sides.”
Holtz was not the only sports figure that weighs.
The NFL Brett Favre legend also gave its reaction on the subject.

“This was a bit unreal to see. A foreign leader who spoke with a president of the United States like this,” Favre wrote in response to an argument clip. “I’m glad Donald Trump and JD Vance are defending the United States.”
