From the Daily Caller: The Hudson Institute, a non-partisan think tank in Washington, D.C., cancelled its upcoming interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Friday following his heated spat with President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance in the Oval Office.
The meeting between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy imploded after the Ukrainian president accused the U.S. officials of not upholding its word of “engaging in diplomatic relations.” The Hudson Institute canceled its in-person event with Zelenskyy where John Walters, the CEO of the organization, planned to discuss “US-Ukrainian relations, the state of the war, and the path forward for Ukraine.”
Vance bluntly told Zelenskyy that he showed blatant disrespect by publicly criticizing the administration that is trying to help them end the Russia-Ukraine war. He further called out Zelenskyy for not showing gratitude to the U.S. for the billions of dollars in taxpayer money and the U.S. military weapons sent to Ukraine to help them fight Russian aggression.
The fiery explosion in the Oval Office on Friday has received reaction along party lines, with Republicans mostly supporting President Trump, while Democrats have flocked to defend Zelenskyy.
The Hudson Institute announced on a press release page about the scheduled interview with Zelenskyy, “This event has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
Nikki Haley appears to have deleted a post on X that she had written earlier Friday morning, announcing Zelenskyy’s now-cancelled interview with the Hudson Institute.
She has not posted any public comments about the explosive exchange inside the Oval Office, as of this report.
lmao
Yeah – probably not a great idea for Zelenskyy to get on stage with @NikkiHaley at the @HudsonInstitute after disrespecting Trump and Vance in the Oval Officehttps://t.co/XnBcWPLmnR pic.twitter.com/xlmuJLQFVv
