Zelensky refuses to apologize for spat with Trump

The Ukrainian leader’s visit to the White House descended into a shouting match with President Trump and Vice President Vance

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has defended his behavior at the White House, claiming he was unsure whether he had done anything “bad” when repeatedly pressed by Fox News’ Bret Baier on whether he owed an apology for what President Donald Trump described as disrespect toward the American people.

“No, I respect the president, and I respect the American people… I’m not sure we did anything bad,” Zelensky said, adding that he felt some matters should be discussed away from the media.
