Rep. Mike Levin’s Statement on the Meeting Between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy
Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) released the following statement on the meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy.
“The meeting today between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office was nothing short of an internationally embarrassing failure of American leadership. President Trump would rather side with a dictator than a democratic nation defending its freedom.
“I want to be clear: Putin is a murderous thug who illegally invaded Ukraine. My grandfather and the Greatest Generation didn’t fight authoritarians in WWII to see the U.S. take the side of one today.
“Now more than ever, it’s critical that the U.S. stand with Ukraine and our democratic allies. We must support democracy over authoritarianism, and good over evil.
“Donald Trump has made clear that he intends to abandon our allies and hand over power to Russia and China. In doing so, he is making all of us less safe. It’s dangerous and shameful.”
