The meeting also comes two days after former President Trump blasted Zelensky for not reaching a peace deal with Russia. He also trashed Zelensky as the "greatest salesman on earth" just as Biden authorized $8 billion more in defense aid for Ukraine.
"Those cities are gone. They’re gone, and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refused to make a deal, Zelensky. There was no deal that he could have made that wouldn’t have been better than the situation you have right now," Trump had told a campaign rally in North Carolina.
