Tulsi Gabbard, the new national intelligence director, thanked President Donald Trump on Friday for his “unwavering leadership” after his clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy During a meeting at the Oval office earlier in the day.
“Thank you @realdonaldtrump for its unwavering leadership in defending the interests of the American people and peace.” Gabbard wrote The X Friday night, hours after the burning exchange.
“What you said is absolutely true: Zelensky has been trying to drag the United States to a nuclear war with Russia/ww3 for years, and nobody has done it.”
Tensions increased during the Oval office meeting between Trump, Zelenskyy and vice president JD Vance on a possible peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine after Zelenskyy said that Russian President Vladimir Putin could not trust that he could not be reliable and had violated other agreements.

“You’re playing cards,” Trump said. “You are playing with the lives of millions of people. You are playing with World War II. You are playing with World War II. And what you are doing is very disrespectful with the country, this country.”
After Vance told Zelenskyy Ukraine that they had problems for recruitment of labor and military, Zelenskyy said that war means that “everyone has problems, even you,” adding to the United States would feel war “in the future.”
“Don’t tell us what we are going to feel,” Trump replied. “We are trying to solve a problem. Don’t tell us what we are going to feel.”

Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude for the United States Help after the meeting.
“Thank you America, thanks for your support, thanks for this visit,” he wrote in X. “Thank you @potus, the American Congress and people. Ukraine needs fair and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.”
The Ukrainian president told Bret Baier of Fox News in an interview after the meeting that believes that Ukrainian-United States ties can be saved.
“Yes, of course, because they are the relations more than two presidents,” he said in the exclusive interview about “Special Report”. “They are historical relationships, strong relationships between our people. And that’s why I always started … thank their people from our people.

“Of course, grateful to the president and, of course, Congress,” he said, “but, first of all, his people … We wanted us to have all these strong relationships and where he said. We will have it.”
Zelenskyy said “I wasn’t sure I had done something wrong” when asked about the blacked exchange, but admitted that the dust was “bad for both parties.”
