Republicans support Trump and Vance's confrontation with Zelensky

Some Republicans praised Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance for their confrontational meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. They viewed the encounter as a demonstration of the "America First" approach and called for an end to U.S. aid to Ukraine. Despite widespread criticism, GOP members like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Ted Cruz expressed support for Trump and Vance, labeling the meeting a significant moment. They claimed Zelensky's behavior was unacceptable and suggested he should resign or change his approach. The meeting, intended to finalize a mineral deal, devolved into a heated exchange. Trump and Vance pressed Zelensky for gratitude, while Zelensky expressed frustration over failed diplomatic efforts in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
