Subject: In-town pool report #8: heated Trump / Vance / Zelenskyy spat
Vance said it was “disrespectful for Zelenskyy to come into the Oval Office, litigating in front of the American media.” Then proceeded to say Zelenskyy does publicity tour.
Trump, raising his voice, said to Zelenskyy, “you’re not really in good position right now.”
“You’re gambling with WWIII.”
Vance: “have you said thank you once? You went to Pennsylvania to campaign for the opposition.”
Trump: “yours running low on soldiers… then you’re telling us you don’t want a ceasefire.”
Zelenskyy trying to respond.
More coming, it’s quite lively.

Trump said yes, there will be arms to Ukraine. “Hopefully we won’t have to send much because I’m looking forward to getting it done quickly.”
He would not talk about security guarantees, called determining security “the easy part.”
“I feel like I do have an obligation to stop the killing.”
Zelenskyy said “there must be security guarantees.” That they can’t just talk ceasefire.
Zelenskyy said “we will never accept just ceasefire.” He said today’s document was a good start.
Asked if he is in the middle of Russia and Ukraine on negotiation, Trump said yes.
Asked about Poland, Trump said he is “very committed to Poland.” Also said “we’re committed to NATO,” and added that Europe has to step up.

Questions still going.
Trump: “Once we make the agreement that will be 95% of it.”
“All they talk about is security. I said let’s make a deal first.”
Referenced over 2k soldiers who died on both sides.
The American taxpayer has to be protected too.
This is an incredible deal for Ukraine. We have an investment in their country.
Zelenskyy:
This is really important … for the security of the European continent.
Asked if he compared himself to historical figures, Trump joked George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Said he was joking, otherwise fake news media would believe him.
Trump: “Whether they’re in Russia or Ukraine think of the parents of these kids being killed.”
Reporter asked if Zelenskyy thought U.S. was on his side. Trump said it was a stupid question, otherwise he wouldn’t be here. Zelenskyy said US has been on their side the whole time.
Trump said “you can’t make any deals without compromises.”

Trump said a lot of people died on both sides.
Repeated that the war wouldn’t have happened if he had been president.
Zelenskyy thanked President for this deal, said he wanted to talk to the US about what they were willing to do. Said he hoped “together, we can stop him” about Putin.
He said Ukraine needs US air defense, best air defense in the world. Even after the war, will need calm.
Zelenskyy brought out Manila folders of pictures to show Trump — pictures of “ladies and men.” Didn’t want to show pictures of children. Your pooler cannot see the photos.
Zelenskyy: ”Even in the war there are rules. … These guys, they don’t have rules.”
