'At least say thank you!' Trump official continues berating 'troublemaker' Zelensky
Raw StoryCommerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who was in the Oval Office for last week's disastrous meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, sought to set the record straight about the motivations of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. "I've heard nonsense that this was a setup," Lutnick told CNN's Pamela Brown Monday. But what happened is, President Zelensky came in and all he asked for was 'no concessions, security guarantees, reparations from Russia of $300 billion, give up no land, get them off our land,' and he kept going, 40 minutes before the cameras were in and 45 minutes once the cameras came in. If you think that is attacking President Zelensky, then you were in a different room than I was in because I thought that was reasonable and appropriate for him to just say thank you."
