The tense meeting between President Donald Trump And Ukrainian President VolodyMyr Zenskyy places attention on the “divergence” of some European countries by promoting freedom and achieving peace in Eastern Europe, director of the National Intelligence Service Tulsi Gabbard said on “Fox News Sunday”.
“I think those who criticize (Trump) in this way demonstrate in this way that they are not committed to peace, and in the case of many of those European countries, that they are not committed to the cause and values ​​of freedom, although they are talking about this,” said Gabbard of Fox News’ Shannon Bream on Sunday morning on Sunday morning on Sunday morning.
“We have heard very clearly during the speech of Vice President Vance in Munich, various examples of how these European partners and old allies in many cases actually implement policy that undermines democracy that shows that they do not really believe in the voices of the people being heard, and implementing anti-funom policy.
Zenskyy traveled to the UK this weekend and followed his meeting with Trump and Vance, who culminated in Trump who told the Ukraine leader to leave the White House while adding a social media Place that Zenskyy Can come back for another meeting “when he is ready for peace.”

On Saturday, Zenskyy met British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who saw him hug and on Sunday told the local media that he had spoken with Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron about the UK and France who took the reins about the preparation of a Peace Plan that will eventually be presented to the US
European leaders meet in London on Sunday to discuss a peace plan further.
Gabbard argued in her interview That “there is something fundamentally deeper here that shows a huge difference and divergence between” American values ​​and national security versus European countries that offer continuous support for the war.

“There’s something fundamental deeper here that shows a huge difference and divergence between the values ​​that president Trump and vice president Vance are Fighting for, The Values ​​That Are Enshrined in Our Constitution, The interests of the American People or People of people of the American People or People of People of People of People of People of People of People of People of People of People of People of People or People’s People of People of People of People or People’s, People of People or People’s, People, People’s of Sex, People or People’s, People’s, People, People or People’s, People’s, People, People or People, People or People or People’s, People, People, People, Of The American of Seconds. These European Countries Who Are Coming to Zensky’s Side As He walked out of the White House, Saying Basically, That They Are Going to Support Him in Continuing This War, And That They Don’t Stand With these fundamental values ​​of Freedom, she said.
Bream followed by asking Gabbard if she would do that Identify Russia If a country celebrates freedom, just like the US, that Gabbard denied, and added: “That is not really what we are talking about here.”
“I would not make that statement, and it is clear that that is not the case, nor President Trump. But that is not really what we are talking about here. We are talking about much of these European countries And Zenskyy himself, who claim to stand and fight for the cause of freedom and democracy, when we actually look at what is happening in these countries, as well as the government of the Zenskyy in Ukraine, is exactly the opposite. “

“You have the cancellation of elections in Ukraine. You have political parties that are silent or even criminalized or thrown into prison. You have freedom of religion, churches that are closed, you have political opposition that is silenced, you have total government control over the media.”
“It really raises the question,” she continued. “Zoals vice -president Vance opnieuw zei in München, is het duidelijk dat ze tegen Poetin staan. Uiteraard is dat duidelijk. Maar waar vechten ze eigenlijk echt voor, en zijn ze afgestemd op de waarden die zij beweren in overeenstemming met ons te houden? De waarden waar president Trump en vice -president Vance voor staan, en dat zijn de waarden van vrijheid, vrede en ware veiligheid.”
The visit of the White House of Zenskyy was demolished on Friday after the heated exchange, including Vance who asked the Ukraine leader about his gratitude for the US’s help over the years, and Trump tells Zenskyy that Ukraine will or will close a deal with the US or the war itself.

“You will either close a deal or we are gone. And if we are gone, you will fight it. I don’t think it will be nice, but you will fight it. But you don’t have the cards. But once we sign that deal, you are in a much better position. But you can’t thank at all. And that is not fun. I will not be honest.
As part of the Peace Agreement, the Trump administration was also busy with an agreement with Ukraine in Ink that would give the US access to the minerals of Ukraine in exchange for support that the US had offered the nation since the war in 2022 broke out.
