he disrespected the united states of america but president zelensky expressed thank you for this visitthank you potus, congress and the american people. i cannot overstate how serious what happened here at the white house earlier today is for him and for and especially in a meeting that started out office today. that is how serious this is. because donald trump does not like to be disrespected, what a ceasefire deal, what a peace deal in ukraine the ukrainian president had to say today. of humble pie first. with this country on a deeper level when it comes to military support, going forward in a post—war world, if you were watching ukrainian tv, events signed not happening. you speak to here in the capital, there broadly is an appreciation for president zelensky holding his ground. because ultimately, this is still an existential by the us, imposed by the us, that wouldn't equate to a ceasefire, then that would amount to a defeat. this country has gone through. processing what they saw. and so for president zelensky to fold to terms unfavourable by the us, imposed by the us, that would

america into a deeper level of cooperation. house was suggesting. for $500 billion worth of natural minerals. and we thought that perhaps ahead of president zelenskye security guarantees, the military promises it wants to prop up any ceasefire in the future, that they still need america to be there in case, in case to commit to that despite lengthy diplomatic and you saw a president zelensky there, um, seemingly to a couple last night. they were pleased. there are some mps who felt he could have been a bit more tactile in the face of, and vice president of the united states. but broadly speaking, there's a rule in ukraine. whenever the country is under threat, be it from the invasion or whether its president zelensky himself, it or whether its president zelensky himself, take that so deal, ukraine can take that so there is an option here where europe delivers for ukraine and i think that is very uncertain. europe has got a lot of the same problems and there is this constant fear that you must have the us as a backstop. the us must be in europe addressing the potential price of that could be very high so it comes down to, does europe pull together

america last crowd has always got something to say. but i think today was telling, and i think people should pay attention to the people who were defending zelensky versus the people who were defending america. so it's a kind of a defining day. i think a fault line that had existed for a while is now out in the open, and it's very, as you said, it's very educational, it's very instructive. but the truth of the matter is we're americans. that's our president. and no foreign leader comes into the oval office and disrespects us that way, especially when we're trying to help. >> i mean, can you ever imagine joe biden in any sense of the word? he would just basically sit there and nod and hold those cards in his hand. those with big, big magic marker writing and hope for the i mean, but he was used to dealing with biden or whoever was pulling biden's strings. and it's like the boss man, the boss man is back in charge. and you don't disrespect the boss. senator, always great to spend time. thank you. all right. up next, elon musk with joe rogan. oh, boy, i watch this. what the billionaire said about the democrats relentless hits on doge. coming up. >>

zelensky we'll talk about security guarantees. we'll talk about cease-fire and how the war ends. this is a process. you have a new relationship with america, a $500 billion, half a trillion dollar deal that president trump is proud of that gives us an interest worth defending. let's talk about the positives. but he was careful at munich, zelensky. and i think he has made it almost impossible to sell to the american people that he's a good investment. he's a good business partner. >> senator graham -- >> one at a time. >> senator graham, thank you. do you think president zelensky needs to resign to resume these peace talks. >> he either needs to resign or send somebody that we can do business with or needs to change. >> thank you. >> mr. president, would you talk to president zelensky again? pres. trump: thank you very much i just want to say we're going down to florida. we have a big event tomorrow night. big maga event. make america great again. we're setting records -- i would rather be at the white house but we're doing the big event tomorrow night. we had some big news this week as you know because apple is investing $500 billion, thi

is that in america's best interests? zelensky didn't read the room. he didn't even say thank you. >> have you said thank you once this entire meeting? no. in this entire meeting, have you said thank you? you went to pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in october. offer some words of appreciation for the united states of america and the president who is trying to save your country. >> please. you think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you. >> are not speaking loudly. he's not speaking loudly. your country is in big trouble. >> can i. >> wait a minute? no, no. you've done a lot of talking. your country is in big trouble. >> i know. >> you're not winning. you're not winning this. >> don't tell the vice president he's speaking too loudly. he can speak however he wants to in the white house. have you ever seen a foreign leader come into america and talk this way? and everyone knows if zelensky had come in, signed the deal, showed some gratitude, it would have gone a long way, and it would have reminded the american people that z

bret baier knows that zelensky is america's ally. it'll be interesting to watch bret baier, as well as republicans like marco rubio, seem to capitulate from views he held 48 hours ago to siding with donald trump in this global, scandalous embarrassment for an american president. >> yeah, absolutely. >> nicole. >> this certainly was. >> a day of shame for the united states. that clip, the footage of the oval office meeting, is going to be shown for years to come by politicians, government officials, historians, university professors, because it very clearly captures the moment when the trump. administration sent the signal that it was ceding america's traditional global leadership role, that we were going to be abandoning our allies and partners, that we were not going to stand up to violent aggression that takes place in ukraine by the by russia. and so, donald trump has been used to individuals groveling at his feet, which only fuels his arrogance, his threats of intimidation and his bullying. and president. >> zelensky. >> fortunat

zelensky thanking america over and over. and when you when j.d. vance asked, have you said thank you, i thought, did george marshall ever ask france to say thank you? did he ever ask germany to say thank you? did he ask japan to say thank you? that's not what americans do. we don't ask people to say thank you for the generosity. we benefit from it also. and it's just this kind of gigantic cleavage with that old word cold. that was once the part of america where we had an american president siding with an autocratic dictator who invaded another country, invaded the largest country in europe, the largest cross-border invasion since world war two, something that trump won't even admit to. so it was it was a very, very sad day for american diplomacy, for american history. and it's just painful to watch. >> julia, i want to, you. >> know, play a little. >> bit of president. >> zelensky on fox news, responding to. what we just. >> saw, what happened in the oval office. take a listen. >> do you think the public spat in the oval office in front of. >> the

after leaving the white house, zelensky posted a thank you message to america, congress a the president. it went on to say ukraine needs just and lasting peace. and we are working exactly for that. president trump posted his own message saying that zelensky is not ready for peace, and believes u.s. involvement gives him an advantage in negotiations. it went on to say he disrespected the united states of america in its cherished oval office. he can come back when he is ready for peace. the fallout from this meeting has been swift. cabinet members and prominent republicans are supporting trump after the meeting. many european leaders, meanwhile, sending messages to zelensky saying they support ukraine. some democrats, including bay area representative mark desaulnier, calling the meeting appalling and accusing trump of aligning himself with russian president vladimir putin. so what is the larger picture here? our coverage continues in just a few minutes. we'll break down the long term impact this meeting may have, both here in the u.s. and on the global stage. but first, we want to catch

but the irony is that zelensky seemed poised to sign the deal that would have actually given america what trump was asking for. and a huge reason trump seems mad is because of zelensky's rightful bashing of vladimir putin. he just simply. and the republicans just don't want him bashing vladimir putin, the guy that is invading ukraine and killing ukrainians every day. they they seem to be upset that zelensky doesn't want to be nice in his language and in his terminology, against vladimir putin. >> and the reason why is because donald trump envisions himself having the same type of leadership. >> that putin has over his own country. >> and he also is still very much butthurt, for lack of a better term, over all of the instigations of and the proof that was found that russia interfered in the 2016 election cycle. so there is a frustration that donald trump has and he will never let go of that has absolutely nothing to do with zelensky or the. >> crimes that are. >> being committed against his. country by putin right now, and the thousands of people, the. >> hundreds of. >> thousands of p

i almost felt like i wanted to apologize on behalf of america, to ukraine, to president zelensky, and frankly, to the world, because it's not who we are and it's not how we do things. >> but hold on, isn't it, though? like we keep saying this isn't who we are, but the united states knew exactly who donald trump was and they elected him again. and to david's last point, this is exactly who donald trump is. so are we fooling ourselves when we keep saying this isn't who we are? >> that's fair. i mean, international relations typically, and foreign policy is conducted in this traditional way. and trump broke all that. and people wanted the majority of americans wanted him to break all that. the thing is, i've been in my fair share of these meetings behind closed doors where i have seen u.s. officials argue with foreign officials to the point where they get it gets ugly, it gets heated, and people will walk out. never at the presidential level, but but often at at levels that are only a little bit lower. it happens all the time, but it's usually behind closed doors. and the difference with

trump and vice presidentjd vance and we thought that perhaps ahead of president zelensky�*s departure from here, that maybe americaas going to, in turn, provide the security guarantees, the military promises it wants to prop up any ceasefire in the future, because what ukraine and europe agree on is that they still need america to be there in case, in case this war was to reignite. but at the moment it seems you have a white house refusing to commit to that despite lengthy diplomatic efforts over the course of this week. and you saw a president zelensky there, um, seemingly having to stand his ground. i mean, the people you speak to here in kyiv, we spoke us including putin himself, that russia is only ready to settle down this war if it happens in the way that russia deems best for russia. russia is happy to keep going, it still has the capacity to continue this. yes, by paying this enormous price of losing thousands of lives of its soldiers, but i think in putin's mind, the end still justify the means and is having to keep going but he is happy to keep going but he is happy to negotiate this piece with donald tr

vice president jd vance called zelenskyy's actions disrespectful and questioned why zelensky hadn't said thank you to america during the meeting. keep put out a tweet while he was about an hour after he left the white house thanking the president reporting live in washington. and basil. basil, before we let you go wondering what the reaction was from lawmakers after this. >> event. yes, it was a wide range of all across the political spectrum for republicans. many of them in the house and the senate. >> were congratulating and celebrating the way that the president donald trump had reacted and how he had treated president volodymyr zelensky. but i obviously on the other side of the spectrum, democrats in the house and the senate were disparaged disappointed with how he and vice president jd vance treated volodymyr zelensky. and on top of that, they're now worried about how the u.s. is going to look on the international stage as well as how russia vladimir putin will react to this unfortunate situation. thank you, thanks, basil. activists from around the bay area march to to the tesla headquarters in palo alt

during today's meeting, the president trump accused zelensky of not being grateful for america's help. please, you think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you can start speaking loudly? he's not speaking loudly. your country is in big trouble. can i wait a minute? no, no, you've done a lot of talking. your country is in big trouble. i know you're not winning. you're not winning this. you have a damn good chance of coming out, okay? because of us president, we are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war. we've been alone, and we are thankful. i said thanks.ou haven't been this cabinet. vice president jd vance also in that meeting. well, a joint meeting, a joint news conference after this meeting was canceled. and meantime, the mineral deal remains unsigned. let's bring in our sergio quintana now. he's live in san francisco. and sergio. you talked to a ukrainian american? what are her thoughts on what went down at the white house today? very plainly, she tells me that she was shocked and also very disappointed. now, this woman is part of

the president calling this the worst statement that could have been made by zelensky and suggest that americaof this may just be sort of rhetorical heat from the president, whose national security adviser was on television this morning saying the path back to negotiations between the u.s. and ukraine involves gratitude from zelensky, something he has already expressed a willingness to sign the minerals deal, which zelensky has also said he'd be willing to do, and an apology, which zelensky says he doesn't think is necessary but may be required given the personal way in which donald trump conducts his diplomacy. and, jose, i'll just add that the president here in this truth social post, links to a story from the associated press, the news outlet currently banned from the oval office and air force one over its refusal to call the gulf of mexico the gulf of america, as the trump administration has demanded. jose. >> and so, garrett, there are the meetings over the weekend between zelensky and different european leaders. there was talk of maybe billions of dollars or euros going towards the fight

russian trolls, saying, "think of it, a modestly successful comedian, volodymyr zelensky, talked the united states of americading $350 billion to go into a war that couldn't be won." bold words, modestly successful reality show host. then, then trump called zelensky a dictator "who refuses to have elections and is very low in ukrainian polls." unlike trump's democratically-elected buddy putin, who is very popular in russia. latest polls show 90% approve, and 10% -- ahhhhh! i'm falling out of a window! we got a great show for you tonight! my guests are robert de niro and tamara tunie. but when we come back, i check in on a major new year's resolution. stick around. stick around. ♪ the thompsons' new front door looks sharp, right? did we need to wave her down to tell her that? no. no. for a young homeowner turning into their parents, the neighborhood is their life. wonder who's visiting the burkes. that's not their car. hey, guys. who's winning?

zelensky. you know what america?about someone would tell you how pathetic the europeans have been in their support of ukraine. poland has stepped up, the baltic states have stepped up. a few other countries. the 4 worst countries are the leaders with the biggest mounts france, britain, germany, italy, although i like but italy. they have not stepped up to the plate like they could and should. why? this is from the cente center fr strategic and international studies by max bergman. europe's approach to supporting ukraine's war effort is no longer fit for purpose. there is a desperate need for europe to ramp up its defense industrial production. but, despite a clear consensus behind this urgent need, european production lines are not maxing out their capacity. the root of the issue is not so much a lack of political will, but as is frequently the case with european defense, a failure to cooperate in a lack of funding. they are all rallying around zelensky. talk is cheap. one of the step up and do more? europe has not y

america in its cherished oval office. he can come back when he is ready for peace. not long after the president's post, zelensky left the white house at his urging, and earlier this morning, a bipartisan group of senators, including trump ally lindsey graham, met with ukrainian president zelensky. after that oval office blowup, graham said that zelensky either needs to resign or change his tune if there is any hope of peace for the war torn country. in washington, julie sirkin, nbc news. we will have local reaction to today's meeting between president trump and zelensky in our 6 p.m. newscast. among the people we talked with, a ukrainian woman worried about what? tension between the u.s. and ukraine could mean for all of europe moving forward. we're going to turn now to the weekend. it is upon us and with it we are expecting some rain. let's begin our microclimate weather coverage by taking a look outside at some of our weather cameras. looks gorgeous now san francisco, san jose and dublin. and we'll also check in with what's to come. our storm ranger atop san bruno mountain sunshine right now, but it is tracki

practical kind of consequence of this treatment by trump of zelensky is to embolden putin and russia and to have them believe that once a superpower in america will not step in to help a democratically elected ally like zelensky. >> that is exactly right. and that is the fundamental thing that, tragically, president trump does not understand about putin. he somehow thinks by showing fealty and giving him gifts and talking about what a great leader he is, that he's going to have a relationship with him that will be good for the united states. it's exactly the opposite. i've dealt with putin. i negotiated with those guys before, and they're tough negotiators. and if you give them an inch, all they do is take and ask for more. and that's why this is not just about ukraine. this is about america's national security interests around the world. when we look weak, when we cave to a dictator like putin, not only do we embolden him to be more aggressive in europe, including perhaps against our nato allies, but it emboldens other dictators around the world who might think, okay, the americans are no longer in the game. we can take what we want and the

zelensky could make. trump also posted on social media that america will not put up with it for much longer. zelensky is back in europe. he attended a summit in london with 18 european leaders, including the uk prime minister, along with canada's prime minister and other officials from nato. they pledged full support to zelensky and ukraine, calling it a once in a generation moment for the security of europe. >> president zelensky pointed out in so many words that vladimir putin is a liar and a criminal and cannot be trusted to keep his word in any way, shape or form. >> while the white house is considering cutting off ukraine aid, england signed a nearly $3 billion loan to provide more military aid to ukraine, backed by the profits from freezing russian assets, while in great britain, zelensky also met with king charles. the two discussed the war in ways ukraine could shore up its defenses, while working towards a peace deal with russia. king charles previously expressed support for zelensky in ukraine, saying the country had experienced, quote, indescribable aggression following russia's in

president zelensky tells the bbc he is ready to sign a minerals deal with america. under way, with ten movies up for best picture. up for best picture. he said he is aware of a joint proposal by sir keir starmer and emmanuel macron for a one—month truce with russia. securing our future. the "our" is europe and canada, and the host, sir keir starmer, guarantee would look like. mr president, can you get things back on track? and then discuss it with the united states. can europe come together and come up with a plan? zelensky of ukraine. would you be willing to apologise to donald trump, mr president? the prime minister and 18 others trying to pull defence spending massively. it's basically turning ukraine into a steel porcupine - and resilient country. about stepping up to the plate? absolutely. of underinvestment, it is now. of utmost importance to step up the defence investment- fora prolonged period of time. and what of the north atlantic defence alliance, nato, america is european countries stepping up, first of all, to make sure that ukraine has got what it needs to stay in the fig

and the castle�*s complete with the arrival of president zelensky of ukraine. off a balancing act, keeping america well as kiev�*s. in a generation moment for the security of europe. for around two hours they talked and then some it's basically turning ukraine into a steel porcupine - that is indigestible - for potential invaders, but also, for example, - securing the energy system resilient country. the defence investment- fora prolonged period of time. america for so long? for so long at its heart, but now with an unpredictable president? i think it was a good meeting. it was a very good meeting because what you see is european countries stepping up, first of all, to make sure obviously, there is no deal yet. for getting involved in delivering and maintaining must have strong us backing. today is a big day among many big days europe in an era of war and donald trump. sat down with journalists before returning to ukraine. laura kuenssberg was there and sent this report. bitter years of war. in his own language, president zelenskyy wanted the united states invited me. you're gambling with the live

and he was about to sign a deal with zelensky, which again meant very little but still could, could, could push america in the wrong direction by the estimation of vance and this cold war party group. and so they did absolutely everything to make sure that trump would, you know, would would tear it apart because vance vance intervened. you know, it's before vance intervention. things were okay. and i think trump played it like like a like a sugar daddy. and then vance through a match up. so this is typical. and then he just got enraged. and that's exactly what they want to do. and vance body language you know even even patting trump on his shoulder. so great job. great job. yeah. and what happened next. they forced everybody starting with rubio and many other members of the cabinet writing almost identical emails praising trump. that's exactly it's utilization of america. that's how you shift from democracy. >> to american diplomats. >> it's no longer. >> the american development officials have been retweeting marco rubio and retweeting these. thanks, donald trump, for standing up for america and putti

zelensky, we'll talk about security guarantees. we'll talk about cease fires and how the war ends. that is process. you have a new relationship with america, a $500 billion, half a trillion dollar deal that president trump is proud of that gives an interest worth late it impossible to sell the america do bloody is a good investment. >> last question. one at a time. one at a time. >> do you think president zelenskyy needs to resign? >> t there needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with or he needs to change. >> thank you. >> we are going down to florida. we have a big event tomorrow night. i would rather be at the white house. but we are doing a big event tomorrow night. this is huge. apple is investing $500 million. it will be a tremendous investment. the biggest investment anyone has done. they will be investing a lot of money. we have a lot of other companies that have announced they are coming in. they have a great turnaround. the country is really doing well. we are respected again all of the world. we had the prime minister yesterday. we have more people wanting to come. a very good show. i think our country

and trump went on the attack on social media, posting in part that zelensky, quote, disrespected the united states of america in its cherished oval office. he can come back when he's ready for peace, end quote. trump took it even further when talking to reporters outside the white house before departing for mar a lago. >> i'm not looking to get into anything protracted. >> i want immediate peace. president putin is going to want to make and he wants to make. he wants to end it. and you saw what i saw today. this is a man that wants to get us signed up and keep fighting. and we're not doing that, not for this country. >> when you start talking. >> he's got to say, i want to make peace. he doesn't have to stand there and say about putin, this putin, that all negative things he's got to say, i want to make peace. i don't want to fight a war any longer. his people are dying. he doesn't have the cards. >> much of this monumental shift in american foreign policy has flown under the radar because of the sheer amount of anti-democratic rhetoric coming out of the trump white house. but it began in earnest, at least i

america a good country is engaging in di palossi. that's what the -- in diplomacy. that's what he's doing. president zelensky: can i speak? >> sure. speak. >> he occupied big parts of crimea. he occupied it in 2015. so during all those years -- i'm not speaking about just bind. but those times was obama, then president obama then president trump, then president biden, and now president trump will stop him. but during 2015, nobody stopped him. he just occupied and took. he killed people. you know -- president trump: 2015. >> yes, but during 2014 until 2022, the situation was the same that people have been dying on the contact line. nobody stopped him. you know, we had conversations with him. a lot of conversations. bilateral conversation and we signed be him me, like a new president in 2019, i signed with him the deal. i signed with him, macron and merkel. we signed cease-fire. cease-fire. all of them told me that he will never go. we signed him with guest contracts. but after that, he broken the cease-fire. he killed our people. and he didn't exchange prisoners. we signed the exchange of prisoners but he didn't do it. what kind of

and now zelensky is already trying to clean this disaster up on x writing quote. thank you america. thank you for your support. thank you for this visit. thank you to the president of the united states congress, the american people and ukraine needs a just and lasting peace. and we are working exactly for that. apparently, he even tried to come back to meet with trump at the white house. take a look. >> i want anybody that's going to make peace. if he's capable of making peace, which he may or may not be. but i want somebody that's going to make peace again. he doesn't have the cards. when we sign up. he has got all of the cards. that doesn't mean he can fight. he has got to stop the fighting. stop the death. well, he says he wants it now. he wants to come back right now. but i can't do that. >> meanwhile, zelensky did sit down with our very own bret baier on special report. and this is what he had to say. >> so i'm not hearing from you, mr. president, a thought that you owe the president an apology. >> no, i respect president, and i respect american people. and if i don't know if i

zelensky. i think there will be a lot of also him saying, i put america first. uestioning zelensky. and if he was thankful enough. i actually think it's going to be a rallying point for him with republicans. >> yeah, it very likely could be with republicans. although as we started the show, there are some republicans willing to say this is not the way that we should talk about our friends and our allies, especially not ukraine. we will see all eyes on where that relationship goes next. white house correspondent for the hill, alex gangitano. thank you as always. and that was way too early for this monday morning. morning joe starts right now. >> why don't you wear a suit? >> you're the highest. level in this. >> country's office. >> and you refuse to wear. >> a suit. >> just want to. >> see if you do own a suit. >> yeah, you. >> have problems. >> a lot of americans. >> have problems. >> with you not respecting. >> i didn't have signs. i will wear a costume after this war will finish. >> you are. not strong. >> with respect, i think it's disrespectful. >> for you.

these actions as disrespectful and questioned why zelensky hadn't said thank you to america during the meeting. >> well, as a lens key have put out a tweet just about an hour after he left the white house thanking the president reporting live in washington. i'm basil, john. >> basil was a surreal scene. so republicans and democrats in congress, what are they saying about this spectacle? >> well, i mean, as soon as this all took place in the oval office of reactions were very quick to come out as some lawmakers were. yeah, at the white house when this meeting was happening, many republicans, both the house and the senate are congratulating in celebrating the approach that president trump took towards talking tool. ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky. while democrats on the other side of the spread of the spectrum, very disparaged disappointed in the approach that president trump vice president jd vance chose on top of that. they're also concerned about how the u.s. will look on the international stage and what next steps russia will take after seen this. we know russia was watching

america in its cherished oval office. he can come back when he is ready for peace. not long after the president's post, zelensky left the white house. at his urging, a bipartisan group of senators, including trump ally lindsey graham, met with ukrainian president zelensky after that oval office blowup. graham said that zelensky either needs to resign or change his tune if there is any hope of peace for the war torn country. in washington, julie sirkin, nbc news. and before president zelensky left washington, he appeared with bret baier on fox news. commenting on that rocky relationship with president trump. do you think your relationship with donald trump, president trump, after today can be salvaged? yes, of course, because it's relations more than two presidents. it's the historical relations, strong relations between our people. and that's why i always begin with to thank your people from our people. president trump spoke to reporters before flying to florida for the weekend. he indicated he did not think zelensky was serious about a peace deal. i'm looking for peace. we're not looking to go into a ten year

before leaving the uk — president zelensky spoke to journalists — telling the bbc he was ready to sign a minerals deal with america the year — the oscars. britain and france are proposing a month—long ceasefire in ukraine, as a first step towards ending the war. at a summit in london, european leaders agreed to boost zelensky traveled to meet king charles at his private estate, from kyiv�*s partners, asking them to "remember with donald trump on friday here's our political editor chris mason. from buckingham palace. this mansion on the mall. those countries like the uk, keen to act quickly and do the most. we need to be clear what a european security guarantee would look like. instance, a coalition of the willing. and after friday night's spat in the white house, mr. mr president, can you get things back on track? today, the prime minister is working with the french president, emmanuel macron, on a plan to stop the fighting and then discuss it with the united states. can you come together and come up with a plan? and the castle�*s complete with the arrival of president america onside and putting an arm around ukra

here we hear the president say that he thinks this is the worst statement that zelensky could have made, and that america is not going to put up for it for much longer. there has been no resumption, no action that we can find here at the white house of any kind of talks between the us and ukraine over the weekend since that meltdown here at the oval office on friday and this morning, the national security adviser said there are essentially three things that need to happen for those talks to resume. volodymyr zelensky needs to show gratitude to the united states, something zelensky has been endeavoring to do on social media and in appearances since. he needs to indicate a willingness to sign that minerals deal that was on the table on friday. zelensky has said he would do so, and he needs to apologize for his behavior in the oval office. the last one of those, katy, i think, is very much a part of how donald trump views diplomacy as sort of personal connection between two individuals. he's going to want to see that from zelensky before he's welcome back here. i think if that's the bad news for zelensky, w

zelensky. >> at a time when his country needs america and its allies to. >> rally behind them. >> not against them. today's oval office ambush of a. wartime president who is bravely fighting for freedom and democracy, is an historic new. low for american democracy. american diplomacy. president zelensky. >> traveled to the white house. >> to sign a deal. >> over its rare minerals. >> but wanted security guarantees from the united states as it defends itself against russia. trump obviously. >> did not feel he could handle. >> zelensky by. >> himself a formidable. speaker and now. >> a proven and courageous leader. so he called in his number. >> two for help. >> what kind of diplomacy? jd, you are speaking about what what what what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes. >> russia pulling. >> its army out of ukraine would end destruction of his country. >> it's that simple. >> but donald trump and jd. >> vance kept. >> berating president zelensky. in front of the cameras with lies and wild. >> claims that. >> an invade

the trump administration talk about america first, america first, they quickly turned off, as we saw with the white house, you know, spray with zelenskymerican president very capable of threatening to quickly shut down weapons and shipments to an ally. is it at all possible that donald trump would ever use his leverage with the israeli prime minister in any meaningful way? >> he should. if the united states said that palestine will join the un as the 194th member state, and remember, the u.s. was the only veto of that proposition in 2024. if donald trump said that, there would be peace in the middle east, this would be an extraordinary achievement. and yes, he could do it. absolutely, because the united states just has to say, no, no, you're not going to control all the palestinian lands. no, you're not going to violate international law. no, you're not going to do ethnic cleansing. there's going to be a state of palestine alongside a state of israel. israel will be secure, but there's going to be two states. if donald trump says that he makes peace, he ends what has been 100 years, by the way, not just since 1948 or 1967, but 100 yea

he stood up for america. >> he refused. >> to be lectured to. >> and at the end of the day, whether or not zelensky can change, i don't know. but i'm. >> proud of the president. >> charlie, it's shocking that senator graham would say that, particularly about our european allies. it seems to me that the europeans are not about to take this lying down. they have a summit today of european leader, including germany, denmark, italy, italy, the netherlands, france, norway, poland, spain, finland, sweden, the czech republic. arrivals are happening as we speak. we just put it up in london, romania. the turkish foreign minister, the nato secretary general, the president of the european commission and the european council will also attend. even canada is hopping on the flight to make it to london to have this conversation. and during the summit, it's going to include talks on establishing a european military force to be sent to ukraine that would underpin a cease fire. starmer noted it would involve a coalition of the willing. these are the european leaders arriving to fill the void that donald trump is cre

america is still doing. ok, i want to put to you some of the words from donald trump that directly impact you, yourjob, and your ability to do yourjob. when president zelenskywas talking about defending his country and donald trump says that he's gambling with world war iii, is donald trump, right? ——gambling with world war iii, is donald trump right? listen, i've spoken for half an hour on thursday with donald trump on the phone with president trump. we are friends. we have worked for years together. i know he is committed to bring ukraine to a durable peace. he is committed to nato. of course, he expects the european, nato partners the european nato partners and canada to spend more and to ramp up defence production. and he is right there. so he is exactly on the spot when it comes to ukraine, when it comes to nato, and we really need to work together on all of this. but is he right in when he tells zelensky that zelensky is gambling with world war iii? listen, let me please not react to every sentence yesterday uttered in in the oval office. but more generally, of course, it is important for ukraine to get to a durable peace, as president trump had said

zelensky could make. president trump also posted on social media america will not put up with it for much longer.ne's president says he is still ready to sign a minerals deal with the u.s, even after that tense exchange with president trump and vice president j.d. vance. zelenskyy is back in europe now. he attended a summit in london with 18 european leaders, including the united kingdom's prime minister, along with canada's prime minister and officials from nato. they pledged full support to zelenskyy and ukraine, calling it a once in a generation moment for the security of europe. >> president zelenskyy pointed out in so many words that vladimir putin is a liar and a criminal and cannot be trusted to keep his word in any way, shape or form. >> while the white house is considering cutting off ukraine aid, england signed a nearly $3 billion loan to provide more military aid to ukraine, backed by profits from freezing russian assets, while in great britain, president zelensky also met with king charles. the two discussed the war in ways ukraine can shore up its defenses while working toward a peac

though that may very america, even though that may very well be true, because he feels it is not a show of strength going but the criticism of negotiations, but the criticism of zelenskysident zelensky is very, very real. the very worst thing could real. the very worst thing he could heard from today like have heard from others today like the national security adviser mike that j that time 5 that time is j that time is not on side wellsrthat timeis not on'the side ukraine and wellsrthet time'is' not qfi'thé side ukraine and patience is of ukraine and patience is running out as american wallets and nation they will not keep going supplies, they will not keep going ukraine. there's great to ukraine. there's great frustration, we have from frustration, we have heard from several as as a drco in j drcm in sccijl j drco in sccijl riicfluj j duco in sccijl riucfluj ecst, person a drop in social media post, i don't think president is i don't think president zelensky is to talk about peace just now. they need him to urgently 725 his mind 77 his mind set 77 j table . table. but think it the table, but they don't think it is he is able to build the is something he is able to build
