Trump criticizes Zelensky and downplays Russian election interference in Miami speech

During a speech in Miami, President Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a "dictator" and a "comedian." Trump questioned how Zelensky could hold elections amid the ongoing war in Ukraine and suggested he was not effectively leading the country. Trump also downplayed Russian interference in U.S. elections, mocking concerns over past incidents. He compared the U.S. response to Russia's actions to spending on voter turnout in India, suggesting the latter was a bigger issue. These comments follow a recent meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian officials, marking a shift towards normalizing relations. Trump has indicated plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon.
