'Doing Putin's Dirty Work': Trump Slammed After Clash With Zelenskyy In Oval Office

"What an utter embarrassment for America. This whole sad scene," one Democratic senator lamented.
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance drew bipartisan criticism after they berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an extraordinary meeting at the White House on Friday.
In the shocking Oval Office exchange, Trump and Vance ganged up on Zelenskyy, calling him “disrespectful” and telling him he has “no cards” with which to negotiate a deal to end the brutal invasion of his country by Russia. The White House then canceled a scheduled press conference and appeared to boot the Ukrainian president from the building without signing an expected rare minerals agreement.
“Trump and Vance are doing Putin’s dirty work,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote in a social media post, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Senate Democrats will never stop fighting for freedom and democracy.”
“What an utter embarrassment for America. This whole sad scene,” added Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
“Shame. Shame. Shame,” wrote Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii).
