A meeting at the White House between Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump descended into a bitter argument in front of the press in extraordinary scenes as Trump demanded that Zelenskyy show more gratitude to his administration, while accusing him of ‘disrespecting the US’.

Trump also told him that he needs to make a deal with Putin or ‘we are out’, threatening to cut US support for Kyiv.

    Gotta say, that was surprisingly hard to watch.

    Zelenskyy was gonna get screamed at no matter what. This is just a matter of controlling the narrative and manufacturing consent to stop military aid.
