U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for arguing with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance during an Oval Office meeting on Friday.
Graham branded Zelensky’s behaviour during the meeting as “disrespectful.”
According to him, he is unsure whether the United States could ever do business with Zelensky again.
“What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I don’t know if we could ever do business with Zelensky again,” Graham told reporters outside the White House.
He added, “I think most Americans saw a man they would not want to do business with, given the way he handled the meeting,” describing the Ukrainian leader’s approach as “just over the top.”
This comes after Trump cancelled a scheduled joint press conference with Zelensky and ordered him to leave the executive mansion.
The heated Oval Office exchange has left a peace deal on the war between Ukraine and Russia hanging in the balance.
