Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for refusing to make a deal with Russia.
This was reported by Bloomberg.
Trump also claimed that Zelenskyy is allegedly “slandering” him.
“The President of Ukraine is in our country, making slight unpleasant slanders against your favorite president — me,” Trump said at a campaign rally.
He stated that the USA is “providing billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal with Russia.”
Sources told journalists that Trump will not meet with Zelenskyy this week.
According to the publication’s sources, Zelenskyy began his trip to the USA with steps that “alienated” Trump’s supporters. In particular, Zelenskyy visited a factory in Pennsylvania that produces 155-mm artillery shells for the defense forces, where only Democrats were present.
In the U.S. House of Representatives, the Biden administration was accused of potentially misusing government resources that could have allowed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to “interfere in the 2024 presidential election.”
Moreover, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson called on Zelenskyy to “immediately” dismiss Ukraine’s Ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, specifically because of this visit to the arms factory. He called the visit “short-sighted and deliberately political.”
