Neither Trump nor Vance sought to humiliate President Zelensky. They were calm and avoided confrontational remarks at the beginning of the press conference.
Surprisingly, Trump maintained a reserved posture throughout the proceedings. In response to inquiries regarding the potential mineral agreement, he consistently stated, “We will see,” while reiterating his commitment to continuing military aid to Ukraine.
- Zelensky was anxious during the conference. Whenever Trump suggested the necessity of concluding the war, he interrupted assertively, emphasizing that Russia must face accountability as the aggressor in the conflict.
- The debate escalated when Trump said that any potential deal would be untenable if Zelensky continued to express negative, harsh comments about Putin.
Vance clarified Trump’s position, underscoring the importance of diplomacy and critiquing the previous President, Biden’s comments on Putin.
Interestingly, Zelensky started questioning Vance, which led to the heated exchange we saw.
Conclusion:
- The Trump administration dislikes Zelensky for his involvement in supporting Harris’ campaign in October, a point underscored by Vance during the heated exchange.
- Zelensky is not ready for a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine war.
- His European allies have encouraged him to confront Trump in peace negotiations and the deal with Russia.
- The Europeans are not able to secure Ukraine’s interests or achieve victory in the ongoing conflict without US military support.
- Zelensky would have achieved a good deal behind closed doors, yet his anxiety was apparent. Ukraine is not in a good position, and this exchange was not fruitful.
Zelensky’s provocative approach in the Oval Office and the support he received from European leaders following his contentious appearance at the White House exacerbated Ukraine’s crisis and yielded little benefit for the Ukrainians.
The collective West is in trouble. European bureaucrats' declaration that the “free world” must identify a new leader only adds more complexity to an already challenging situation, ultimately undermining both European and Ukrainian interests.
In conclusion, the United States remains the ultimate Global power within the collective West and globally. European leaders would be misguided to assume they can navigate dealings with Trump as they did during his first term.
