Trump Calls Warren 'Pocahontas' During Congress Speech on Ukraine Aid

President Trump mocked Senator Elizabeth Warren while discussing U.S. support for Ukraine, drawing mixed reactions from lawmakers.

  • President Donald Trump referred to Senator Elizabeth Warren as 'Pocahontas' during his joint address to Congress, a nickname he has used in the past to mock her claims of Native American ancestry.
  • The remark came as Trump criticized U.S. financial support for Ukraine, questioning its continuation and highlighting European nations' spending on Russian oil and gas.
  • Senator Warren responded by clapping and later dismissed the speech as 'a fantasy,' accusing Trump of aligning with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
  • Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin condemned Trump's comment as 'low-rent' and unpresidential, reflecting broader criticism from Democrats over the tone of the address.
  • Trump's speech also emphasized his efforts to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which he described as 'savage' and responsible for significant loss of life on both sides.
