Zelensky Visibly Agitated As Trump Dominates Meeting, Citing 'Very Good Relationship' With Putin
TYLER DURDEN
Tensions were certainly on display before and during the Trump-Zelensky meeting at Trump Tower in New York. Going into the meeting, both men looked stern-faced, with Trump making a series of casual remarks which appeared aimed at gently belittling the Ukrainian leader and putting him in his place. This comes days after Zelensky went after J.D. Vance, and came close to directly criticizing Trump himself for calling for ceasefire and talks with Moscow.
"We have a very good relationship, and I also have a very good relationship, as you know, with President Putin. And I think if we win I think we’re going to get it resolved very quickly," Trump said in comments made before the press going into the meeting. But that caused an agitated Zelensky to poke back:
"I hope we have more good relations," Zelensky cut in.
"Oh, I see," Trump responded. "But it takes two to tango, you know, and I we’re going to have a good meeting today. And I think the fact that we’re even together today is a very good sign."
