**US President Donald Trump’s Blunt Talk with Ukraine Leader Sparks Global Frustration**
A heated exchange between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has left many people around the world wondering if they are “out” of ideas. The tense meeting at the White House ended with Zelensky being told to leave early.
**Voters Speak Out**
We asked five American voters what they thought about the exchange. Here’s what they had to say:
* **Christopher Carey, 51, Republican**: “I blame both [Zelensky and Trump] for this mess. Zelensky was too arrogant, and Trump didn’t handle it well either.”
* **Kat O’Brien, 37, Democrat**: “I’m ashamed to be an American after watching that meeting. Trump and Vance were selfish, rude, and showed no empathy towards Zelensky.”
* **John Carroll, 41, Independent**: “I was disgusted by how Trump and Vance treated Zelensky. We should stand up to Russia, not coddle them.”
* **Alli Rastrelli, 21, Republican**: “I want to help Ukraine, but we can’t keep giving without thinking about our own needs first. I hope there’s a middle ground they can find.”
* **Ryan Rodriguez, 38, Democrat**: “Trump and Vance seemed more interested in making a deal than helping Ukraine. We need to take a stand against Russia, not just give them trade partners.”
**The Fallout**
The exchange has left many people frustrated with both Trump and Zelensky. World leaders have also weighed in on the situation, but for now, it’s unclear what will happen next.
