“Zensky should not have left JD,” said a senior civil servant of the White House in the minutes after the beautiful confrontation took place on television. The officer said that the excavations of Zensky Trump, 78, led his 40-year number two to defend and the situation escalated quickly.
The collision with the VP that started from the angry back and forth came in a meeting where Zensky was on Trump's peat in an attempt to try to obtain security guarantees in a rare earth minerals who say that Trump will offer a form of protection by offering our business interests in his country.
The White House was looking for appreciation. Instead, some gestures of Zensky were interpreted as if he could not tolerate what he heard.

A verbal spit between the Ukrainian president Zensky and vice president JD Vance started an angry oval office meeting
“I spoke with Zensky this morning: don't take the bait,” said Graham reporters in the White House after Zelensky had left the compound and a planned joint press conference with Trump, where Trump announced that negotiations were eliminated.
“President Trump was in a very good mood last night. Did someone ask myself for Trump? I have never been so proud of the president who came up for our country, “said Graham. He called the meeting an 'absolute, extreme disaster'.

The remark caused Vance – who gave Zelensky and then told by the visitor because he had not visited Ukraine as a senator, even while many others made the pilgrimage.
'I am talking about the kind of diplomacy that will end the destruction of your country, Mr. President [Zelensky]. Mr. the president, with respect. I think it is not respect for you to come to the Oval Office to litigate this for the American media, “Vance said.

'The threat that I am most concerned about compared to Europe is not Russia. It's not China. It is not another external actor, “Vance said at the time. “What I'm worried about is the threat from the inside – the retreat of Europe from some of the most fundamental values, shared values ​​with the United States of America.”
