President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over the war in Ukraine. Trump accused him of not showing gratitude after he challenged Vance on the question of diplomacy with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. The argument in the Oval Office was broadcast globally. It led to the rest of Zelenskiy’s White House visit being canceled and called into question how much the U.S. will still support Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s 2022 invasion.Here is a transcript of the key moments of the exchange. Trump: \”You don’t know that. You don’t tell us what we’re trying to solve a problem\” Vance: \”I’m talking about the kind of diplomacy that’s going to end the destruction of your country. Mr. President, with respect, I think it’s disrespectful for you to come into the Oval office to try to litigate this in front of the American media\” Trump: ‘I’m not telling you, I’m not answering these questions. I’m in no position to dictate that you’re in that position\”
