The free world needs a new leader, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said Friday night following a fiery to-camera exchange in the White House between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Writing on her social media account, Kallas wrote: “Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.”
Kallas made her remarks following Friday’s ill-tempered exchange between President Trump and his vice president, J.D. Vance, and President Zelenskyy, who was on an official visit to the White House.
In a meeting before the media which started off in light-hearted terms, things took a heated turn on the issue of continued U.S. military support for Ukraine, with Trump angrily telling Zelenskyy he was in “no position to dictate” what the U.S. was going to do and did not “have the cards” right now,” and was “gambling with World War Three.”
Zelenskyy was also charged by both Trump and Vance of having disrespected both the Oval Office and the whole country, while even a reporter weighed in on the issue of Zelenskyy’s attire for the meeting.
