During a recent Oval Office meeting, Vice President JD Vance clashed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over U.S. support for Ukraine. Vance criticized Zelenskyy for being disrespectful and ungrateful, while Zelenskyy questioned Vance's knowledge of Ukraine. The confrontation escalated as Vance defended Trump's foreign policy approach, asserting the need for diplomacy. Zelenskyy responded by highlighting past agreements with Russia that were violated, expressing frustration with Vance's comments. This incident marks a shift in Vance's role as vice president, as he openly challenges foreign leaders, contrasting with his previous opposition to U.S. aid for Ukraine. The meeting's tone was notably more contentious than earlier bipartisan discussions with U.S. senators.
