GOP senator says Zelenskyy must resign after White House blow up

On Friday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., made a bold statement calling for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to resign following a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Graham, known for his strong stance on foreign policy, expressed his disappointment with Zelenskyy’s behavior during the meeting and suggested that a change in leadership was necessary for fruitful negotiations.

Describing the meeting as a “complete utter disaster,” Graham emphasized the need for a leader that the United States could do business with. He praised President Trump and Vance for standing up for the country in the face of what he deemed as disrespectful behavior from Zelenskyy. Graham went as far as to question whether future dealings with Zelenskyy were possible, given the way he handled the meeting.

Graham highlighted the importance of the Ukrainian-American relationship but expressed doubts about Zelenskyy’s ability to secure a deal with the United States. He cited the televised dispute as a major factor in shaping American perceptions of Zelenskyy and his leadership.

Following the fallout from the Oval Office meeting, Zelenskyy’s speaking event at the Hudson Institute was canceled, although he is still scheduled for an exclusive interview on Fox News later in the day. Despite the public controversy, Zelenskyy took to X to thank America for its support and express his commitment to achieving peace in Ukraine.

As calls for his resignation grow, Zelenskyy has yet to respond to Graham’s statement. It remains to be seen how this latest development will impact the already strained relationship between the United States and Ukraine. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
