美媒:泽连斯基午饭都没吃,就被赶出白宫
“白宫内幕:特朗普是如何让泽连斯基打道回府,协议落空,饭也没吃”(no deal and no meal),在美国总统特朗普与乌克兰总统泽连斯基的会晤不欢而散后,美国Axios新闻网发文道。
Castigating Zelensky for not demonstrating enough gratitude for American support, Trump and Vice President JD Vance raised their voices, accusing the besieged leader of standing in the way of a peace agreement with Russia.
Later, he was essentially kicked out of the White House and departed with a grim look on his face.
Never before has an American president verbally attacked his visitor like Trump did Zelensky, leading to an almost real-time breakdown in relations between Washington and Kyiv. Trump at one point threatened to give up on Ukraine entirely.
Trump huddled with his key advisers inside the Oval Office to assess the situation, including Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
That was when Trump ultimately decided Zelensky was “not in a place to negotiate”. He directed Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz to deliver the message: it was time for Zelensky to leave.
The Ukrainians were nearby in a separate room, which is standard when a foreign leader visits the White House. Typically, they go to other rooms, then reconvene for lunch.
But the Ukrainians wouldn't be dining at the White House Friday. Plates of spring green salad, rosemary roasted chicken and crème brûlée went untouched by the Ukrainian guests. As the prepared food sat nearby on carts in a hallway outside the press secretary's office, the Ukrainians were instructed to leave.
The White House official said the Ukrainians protested and wanted to continue the talks. But they were told no.
Zelensky left shortly thereafter. He has canceled his planned afternoon speech at the Hudson Institute, an official with the think tank announced to attendees. A scheduled joint press conference was scrapped.
