In an interview with CNN, Rubio called on Zelensky to “apologise for apologizing for changing this for him and for him,” after Trump and the White House with Vice President and JD Vance met.
Top US diplomats also questioned whether Zelensky wanted to end the war on Ukraine that began in February 2022.
“When you started talking actively about it, and when the president was a contract maker, he contracted his entire life – you’re not going to take people to the table,” Rubio said.
“So you start to realize that Zelensky might not want a peace deal. He says he does, but maybe he won’t,” Rubio added.
Zelensky had come to the White House to finalise a contract granting US access to Ukraine’s favorable rare earth minerals.
However, the meeting between Zelensky and Trump quickly became a verbal clash.
