Lawmakers on Friday were quick to react after President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance argued publicly with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, accusing him of disrespecting the U.S. before abruptly canceling a joint press conference with the leaders.
Zelenskyy was in Washington to sign a rare-earth minerals pact pushed by the American president to help recoup the billions in wartime aid sent by the Biden administration — a deal that as of Friday afternoon was off.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who has historically been one of the most vocally pro-Ukraine members of Congress, questioned whether the U.S. could ever deal with Zelenskyy again.
