Nate Vance, Vice-President JD Vance\u2019s cousin, slammed his cousin and President Donald Trump for their treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the infamous meeting at the Oval Office in February.\n

Speaking to\u00a0BBC,\u00a0Nate shared his disappointment in JD Vance for belittling the Ukrainian leader.\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a certain level of decorum that I expect from political leaders, especially in front of cameras,\u201d he said, adding that the meeting\u2019s handling left him \u201cnot happy.\u201d\n

Nate spent three years volunteering with the Ukrainian military following the war conflict with Russia.\n
\"\"\n

This remark followed after\u00a0previous comments\u00a0made by Nate accusing Trump and Vance of acting as \u201cuseful idiots\u201d for Russian President Vladimir Putin in their approach to the war.\n

Analysts considered the meeting between Trump and Vance with Zelenskyy a total debacle after it escalated into a heated argument. Trump criticized Zelenskyy while Vance questioned whether he had shown sufficient appreciation for U.S. assistance.\n

As the meeting blew up, Trump\u00a0declared\u00a0that he\u2019s \u201cdetermined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved.\u201d Then, Trump asked the Ukrainian leader to leave, which he did abruptly, without securing a deal for the U.S. to receive revenue from Ukraine\u2019s minerals in exchange for military aid. Further, Trump warned Zelenskyy against \u201cgambling with World War Three\u201d and being \u201cdisrespectful.\u201d\n

\"\"\n

Commenting on the president\u2019s words, Nate Vance said, \u201cZelensky does a daily or nightly address where he thanks everyone who supports Ukraine.\u201d According to him, Zelensky may not have shown \u201cenough deference to Donald Trump\u201d but expecting such deference was unreasonable given that \u201cmy cousin and Donald Trump have been actively working against his initiatives for the past three years.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
