Curtin University Professor of Global Futures Joe Siracusa claims Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was “out of line” during his heated meeting with his American counterpart Donald Trump.
“I think Zelensky was going to torpedo the trade deal – I mean, there were only three things supposed to happen on the day: a press conference, simple lunch and then a signing,” Mr Siracusa told Sky News Australia.
“I don’t think Zelensky had any intention of signing that, and the President and JD Vance, they picked this up and about 40 minutes into a 50-minute press conference, they set the trap.”
