Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for arguing with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance during an Oval Office meeting Friday, telling reporters Kyiv’s leader should consider his political future.
“What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I don’t know if we could ever do business with Zelensky again,” Graham said outside the White House after Trump canceled a scheduled joint press conference with Zelensky and ordered him out of the executive mansion.
“I think most Americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with, the way he handled the meeting,” the South Carolina Republican added, describing the Ukrainian’s approach as “just over the top.”
“I have never been more proud of the president. I was very proud of JD Vance standing up for our country,” Graham also said. “We want to be helpful.”
When asked if Zelensky should resign, Graham answered: “He either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change.”
