US vice-president JD Vance says Europe must spend more on Ukraine as he warned that America is “done with the funding of the war”. He also vowed that Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky will be forced to meet by Donald Trump.

Mr Vance, in a wide-ranging interview on Fox News, went on to dismiss European leaders’ calls to allow the Ukrainian president to attend the upcoming summit between the US and Russian leaders, insisting that it would not be “productive” at this point.

On Saturday, European leaders including Sir Keir Starmer jointly welcomed the meeting, which is planned for Friday in Alaska. However, they warned that any talks should see Ukraine represented and not permit any land to be ceded to Russia.

Their statement came after Mr Trump admitted the deal may involve “some swapping of territories” – a suggestion Mr Zelensky strongly rejected..........................

2. Trump, Vance and all the other thuglicans are all Russia, Russia, Russia...all the damn time...they hate Ukraine...

Nothing but a bunch of fascists in this administration...they love Putin and want to be more like him and Russia...

22. Except strangely, arguing that Russia did not favor Trump in 2016

I absolutely don't get why they continue to argue that it is a hoax. The Senate report, which says Russia did try to influence voters but argued that there was no probable collision with Trump was actually a good place for Trump to leave things.

The fact that people all the way up to Manaford in his campaign shows there was some collision. Reminding people that Barr mishandled the Mueller report and that Mueller did get indictments is not a good idea for Trump.

What it shows is his vanity is hurt by claims that he had help winning in 2016.

4. Did he have trump's backing for making this declaration? The majority of Americans support the continued support for Uk

I will wait for Congress to say this. Did Trump say this???

[bluestarone]

[Hornedfrog2000]

18. Im sure Europe knew this was coming

Also, he is a pedophile in case anyone wondered.

25. JD is nothing more than a TACO Don CLONE!

No wonder the TACO wants JD to succeed him.

[CentralMass]

27. I hope that Europe picks up the slack and Zelensky tells Putin and his butt boy Cheetolini to f'off.

[cachukis]

28. The irony is, Putin's wartime economy is on the

ropes. He was becoming more boxed in, but his purchase of our autocrat has bought him so much time.
Unforgivable.

[Grins]

29. "Art of the Deal!"

Has the nation ever had more incompetent weasels as negotiators…?

Are they dancing in the Kremlin…?

[PortTack]

I don’t know why, but we’ll see.

31. "We're done funding the war."

Yeah, cuz we need the money to build a 100,000 sq ft ballroom to honor the orange jesus. And to retrofit the "free" plane the Qatar gave him.
