<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Speaking to reporters in the White House driveway right afterward, South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham predicted that the shouting match could end U.S. support for Ukraine, calling the meeting a &#8220;complete, utter disaster.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">“Somebody asked me, am I embarrassed about Trump. I have never been more proud of the president. I was very proud of JD Vance standing up for our country. We want to be helpful. What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I don&#8217;t know if we can ever do business with Zelenskyy again,&#8221; Graham, the Senate Budget Committee Chairman, said. &#8220;The way he handled the meeting, the way he confronted the president, was just over the top.&#8221;</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;What we saw in the Oval Office today was beyond disgraceful,&#8221; Rep.

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Sen. Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat, said, &#8220;Every time I&#8217;ve met with President Zelenskyy, he&#8217;s thanked the American people for our strong support. We owe him our thanks for leading a nation fighting on the front lines of democracy – not the public berating he received at the White House.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Sen. Tina Smith of Minnesota said, &#8220;That press conference was choreographed for an audience of one and he sits in Moscow. Once, we fought tyrants. Today Trump and Vance are bending America&#8217;s knee. And that weakens us.&#8221;</p>
