House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) declared Sunday that
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may need to resign following a
high-profile public confrontation with President Donald Trump and Vice
President JD Vance during a meeting in Washington last week.
Zelenskyy met with Trump, Vance, Secretary of State Marco
Rubio and others in the Oval Office on Friday, where he engaged in a heated
public exchange with them in front of reporters during discussions over a
mineral rights deal and efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
"President Trump is trying to bring these two parties
to a point of peace," Johnson told NBC's "Meet the Press."
"What President Zelenskyy did in the White House was effectively a signal
to us that he's not ready for that yet, and I think that's a big
disappointment."
He went on to say that the Ukrainian leader “needs to come
to his senses and return to the table with gratitude, or someone else needs to
lead the country” for the United States to continue working with kyiv on a
peace deal. He added that the Trump administration “has been very clear” that
if Ukraine and Zelenskyy are willing to reach an agreement, it can be
negotiated.
