Ukrainian President Zelensky went on FOX News with Trump-basher Bret Baier on Friday evening after disrespecting President Trump and the American people openly in the White House in a historic meeting earlier today, and he refused to apologize.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the fireworks that erupted in the Oval Office on Friday, leading to Zelensky being kicked out of the White House.
A scheduled press conference with President Trump and Zelensky was abruptly canceled, and Zelensky was kicked to the curb after he disrespected President Trump in the Oval Office.
Ukraine had previously agreed to Trump’s requested mineral rights deal with the US to compensate Americans for the hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money Joe Biden gave them over the last four years, but the agreement was not officialized Friday.
A White House spokesperson confirmed on background that the deal was not signed.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Zelensky later interviewed with Baier and started off by thanking the American people, President Trump, and the US Congress just hours after he spat in our faces.
Later in the interview, Zelensky was asked if he owed President Trump an apology. He further attacked Trump for not prioritizing Ukraine over American interests and for holding a public meeting with the press.
WATCH:
Baier: So, I’m not hearing from you, Mr. President, a thought that you owe the President an apology.
Zelensky: Now, I respect President, and I respect American people, and if, I don’t know, if– I think that we have to be very open and very honest. And I’m not sure that we did something bad. I think maybe sometimes some things we have to discuss out of media. With all due respect to Democracy and to a free media, but there are things that where we have to understand the position of Ukraine and Ukrainians. And I think that is the most important thing. So, we are partners. You know, we are very close partners. We have to be fair. We have to be very free.
He did apologize, however, to Bret Baier for some reason. When asked if his relationship with President Trump can be salvaged, Zelensky stated, “Yes, of course.”
“And sorry for this, I mean this. We wanted very much to have all these strong relations, and I’m very calm that we will have it,” he added while playing the victim of today’s events.
President Trump spoke to the press earlier and said he would not work with Zelensky unless he agreed to a ceasefire. “He’s got to say, ‘I want to make peace,'” the President said, slamming him for wanting “to get us signed up and keep fighting.” It’s clear that Zelensky doesn’t want peace, and the President warned him earlier that “if he fights it out, it’s not going to be pretty because without us, he doesn’t win.”
