Vance criticized Zelensky, shifting U.S. foreign policy

bbc.com

JD Vance, the U.S. vice-president, criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a recent Oval Office meeting. Vance accused Zelensky of disrespecting the U.S. and suggested he campaigned for Democrats, marking a shift from the typical vice-presidential role. Vance's remarks received support from many Republicans, contrasting with the more reserved approach of previous vice-presidents. His outspoken criticism of allies, including European leaders, signals a new direction in U.S. foreign policy under Trump. Vance's role appears to be evolving, as he takes a more aggressive stance against political opponents. This development raises questions about whether he is acting on Trump's behalf or establishing his own political identity ahead of future elections.
