Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s behavior during White House visit on Friday as “unacceptable” and “one of the great diplomatic own goals in history,” underscoring the deepening rift between Washington and Kyiv.
“It’s very difficult to do an economic deal with a leader who doesn’t want to do a peace deal,” Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg Television, following a contentious Oval Office meeting that derailed a planned agreement granting the U.S. access to Ukraine’s critical minerals.
The collapse of the deal marks a setback for Ukraine as it sought to deepen economic ties with the U.S. while the Trump administration attempts to negotiate an end to the ongoing war with Russia. President Donald Trump ended the White House meeting early after Zelensky criticized the administration’s efforts in front of U.S. media during their Oval Office sit-down.
“He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

You could tell Vance was already pissed before hand. He was disgusted with the little guy.
It was AWESOME watching it on live tv..if it had NOT been televised, we would have gotten “Leaks” and stupid book deals 3 yrs from now..instead we saw it all..we saw that Zelenskyy is a disrespectful PRICK who thinks he is entitled to everything. Trump was very cordial to him at first, even cracked a few jokes, then Zelenskyy went after Vance, what did he think Trump was going to do, sit there and allow his VP to be trashed on national TV NO WAY..Trump has way to much respect for Vance to allow that
Please no soccer analogies.
Trump’s crowd is all UFC.
Do was Rubio.
I like that sports comparison!
Vance reminded him to his face that he campaigned in Pennsylvania for Biden.
Everyone knows that just happened to be the state Trump was shot in....
Epic.
The mighty Z looked higher than a kite ... He really should have gone in on the down side, rather than look the fool he literally is ... His persona demonstrated he could care less of how many of his country peoples die at the hands of the Russian bear ... the mighty Z is a demented drugged out lunatic...
And no wonder. Z was dressed like Fetterman.
I heard on the radio about 20 minutes ago on the Dominic Carter show that Zelenskys wife went on a shopping spree spending “hundreds of thousands of dollars” What the hell? When did this happen?? First time I’m hearing about this, and if true it makes you wonder how much he spent on himself. Screw this little turd.
Yup, Vance knew what a piece of $hit Zelensky is for quite awhile now.
Little bitch doesn’t want peace because he was making a fortune from the traitor Joe Biden.

glad I didn’t know that was a soccer analogy

Weird reporting on Ukraine Bonds. Last check was 47.065% 1yr ????
Amen!
Dudes gotta go back to Ukrainski now and face the people that (hopefully) have all seen the unedited exchange in the WH. A bonus is that at Zee’s size it wont take that much Vodka to get him to sleep on the airplane...and I bet he’s gonna need it.
Think Jim Marshall running the wrong way.
People will die because of what Zelensky did. Ukrainians.
Imagine as this gets out to the troops of the front line in Ukraine. Got to be demoralizing...
