A recent meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Vice President Mike Pence with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sparked widespread criticism. The interaction was deemed “disgusting” by a letter to the editor, which described it as an example of Trump’s repeated admiration for authoritarian leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un.
The criticism focuses on Trump’s treatment of Zelensky, who is seen as a victim of the US President’s deference towards despised dictators. The incident raises questions about the US government’s values and stance on human rights.
