CNN issued breaking news following US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky 's clash at the White House. Talks broke down between Trump and Zelensky as the leader was criticised for not thanking the US for their aid during their war against Russia , and being "disrespectful" during their meeting. CNN presenter brought in Secretary of State Marco Rubio for an urgent interview on his thoughts on the heated exchange, as Rubio insisted that Zelensky's behaviour "warranted an apology" to Trump.
Presenter Kaitlan Collins asked Rubio: "Vice President Vance was criticising Zelensky for not saying thank you specifically during that meeting, those 40-50 minutes we were in the Oval Office, but you know very well during your time as a Senator here in Washington, that whenever Zelesnky has come to Washington, he has very much expressed his gratitude. Listen to this..
." as the channel then aired a montage of Zelensky profusely thanking the US for everything they'd done in a series of live statements and TV appearances. How EMBARRASSING for Trump.

Rubio responded: "I think the VP says he hadn't said it today, or he hadn't heard it today, and I think they were hoping that meeting would begin by thank you for everything you've done for s, we wouldn't be where we are today without you and without the help you gave us in the first term, as Obama refused." The clip was quickly shared on social media, as one person said: "How EMBARRASSING for Trump.

Another added: "He had a response, but a very poor one," as a third chimed in: "Embarrassing for the whole country.
We’re represented by schoolyard bullies. Shameful." Rubio made his feelings clear on Zelensky need to apologise, as he said: "Apologise for turning this thing into the fiasco it became, there was no need for him to go in there and become antagonistic.
This thing went off the rails when he asked the VP a question on 'what kind of diplomacy are you talking about,' this is a serious thing, thousands of people have been killed "It needs to come to an end and the way you bring it to an end is you bring Russia to the table to talk and he understands that attacking Putin, no matter what anyone feels about him personally, forcing the President into a position where you're trying to goad him into attacking Putin and calling him names...
The president is a dealmaker, he has been one his entire life, and so you start to perceive Zelensky doesn't want a peace deal, he says he does but maybe he doesn't, and that active undermining is deeply frustrating," as he repeated that Zelensky needed to say sorry..
