John Oliver Condemns Trump and Vance's Criticism of Zelensky in Oval Office Clash

The comedian criticized the U.S. leaders for berating Ukraine's president during a White House meeting, calling the exchange 'awful' and inappropriate.

During a televised Oval Office meeting, Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for not showing enough gratitude for U.S. support in Ukraine's war with Russia.
Trump accused Zelensky of being 'disrespectful' and claimed that he was not 'thankful' enough, while Vance questioned whether Zelensky had expressed any gratitude during the meeting.
John Oliver, on his show 'Last Week Tonight,' called the incident 'awful' and ridiculed Trump and Vance's behavior, stating that Zelensky should not be treated like a 'toddler opening a present.'
Trump also criticized Zelensky for making negative remarks about Vladimir Putin, prompting Oliver to sarcastically question what positive things could be said about a leader responsible for immense destruction in Ukraine.
Zelensky later reiterated his gratitude to the U.S. on social media, thanking the American government and people for their ongoing support during the conflict.
