While the meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former U.S. President Donald Trump, and Vice President J.D. Vance continues to stir debate, CNN commentator Scott Jennings has expressed a critical view of Zelensky's conduct during the encounter.
In an appearance on Laura Coates' show on CNN, Jennings remarked that Zelensky failed a basic test of diplomacy by not exhibiting the expected politeness and gratitude. "All he had to do was walk in and say, thank you. I’m really grateful to be here. We want to be partners with the United States. We’re grateful for your leadership. Where’s the papers and what are we having for lunch? That’s all he had to do," Jennings stated.
The commentary aligns with Jennings' reputation for providing straightforward analysis.
John Nolte from Breitbart News echoed this sentiment, describing Zelensky's behavior as detrimental to his country's image. Nolte criticized Zelensky's attire and demeanor during the Oval Office meeting, where he challenged Vice President Vance on diplomatic matters related to past U.S. administrations.
Zelensky's approach reportedly left some observers questioning his understanding of American diplomatic expectations and decorum.
