Trump shows his true colors with Zelensky | Political News

U.S. President Donald Trump is dealing with online backlash after seemingly failing to ship a U.S. consultant to greet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy upon arrival in Miami Saturday night.

Trump welcomed Zelensky to his Mar-a-Lago membership in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday to continue peace negotiations, marking the Ukrainian leaders third go to to the nation this 12 months. The high-stakes assembly comes after Kyiv was bombarded by Russian rockets as the struggle nears its fourth 12 months following Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.

“Not a single U.S. official to greet Zelensky upon his arrival,” famous analyst Julia Davis, founder of the Russian Media Monitor, in a viral post on X. “Once again, Trump is showing his colors.”

Zelenskyy and his negotiating group touched down in Miami Saturday night, where they had been greeted by Ukraine’s Ambassador, Olga Stefanishyna, her deputy Denys Sienik, and Colonel Andrii Melnyk.

Other X customers expressed disappointment in Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy after snubbing him on the tarmac in comparability to the crimson carpet treatment that Russian President Vladimir Putin obtained when he visited Alaska in August for negotiations.

“Didn’t Trump himself greet Putin on a red carpet????”, one X person famous.

“Putin got a B-2 bomber fly over his head though,” another X person added.

“It’s so painful to watch how he’s treated here,” a third X person said of Zelenskyy. “The thought of him having to kiss the ring of this clown makes me nuts.”

“And yet Trump had our military do this for the murderer who bombs, poisons and pushes his adversaries out windows,” a livid fourth X person claimed.

However, some X customers pushed back on the accusation that Trump offers Putin particular treatment.

“You mean the same Trump who just invited him into his home and greeted him at the front door? Grow up,” one X person replied.

“Diplomacy isn’t measured by airport photos. Outcomes matter more than optics,” another X person added.

The backlash to Trump’s transfer comes after he confronted additional criticism for calling Russian President Vladimir Putin forward of his assembly with Zelenskyy.

The U.S. president also announced in entrance of Zelenskyy during their first joint press gaggle that he could be calling Putin after their assembly, which both leaders described as “productive.”

Trump expressed optimism about getting the deal over the end line, while conveying his perception that both leaders are “serious” about forging peace.

He added that he doesn’t suppose that Moscow’s strikes on Kyiv point out that Putin is unwilling to negotiate, describing the assault as the character of struggle, while noting Kyiv has equally struck Moscow.

Zelenskyy made clear forward of the assembly that he wouldn’t settle for a weak deal for Ukraine via Telegram, while emphasizing the important position third events play in negotiations.
