Kaitlan Collins turned to clips of the Ukrainian president's past D.C. visits after Donald Trump and JD Vance claimed he was "not acting at all thankful."
CNN host Kaitlan Collins checked Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday after he echoed President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance’s claims that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hasn’t been grateful to the U.S.
Trump and Vance, during a contentious White House meeting, publicly berated the Ukrainian president for being “disrespectful” and “not acting at all thankful” of the U.S. support for Ukraine amid its war with Russia.
Collins, moments after Rubio suggested that Zelenskyy be “thanking” Trump for his efforts to end the war, tossed to several clips of the Ukrainian president showing “gratitude” to the U.S. during trips to Washington in recent years.
“Thank you for both financial packages you have already provided us —,” said Zelenskyy during his 2022 address to Congress.
“All my appreciations from my heart, from the heart of Ukraine, all Ukrainians,” he told former President Joe Biden at the White House in 2022.
