Fox’s Jesse Watters Gives Glowing Review of Trump’s Wild Meeting With Zelensky: ‘The War Is Over’

Fox News anchor Jesse Watters gave a glowing review of President Donald Trump’s explosive exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday.

Trump and Vice President JD Vance attacked Zelensky during a meeting in the Oval Office in front of reporters by claiming the Ukraine leader is “gambling with World War III.” The tense exchange ended with Zelensky leaving the White House without signing a minerals deal with the administration.

Watters then claimed that America “runs the world” and that Zelensky is a proxy of the U.S., adding that he needs to recognize the “war is over” in Ukraine:

Zelensky screwed up — 30 minutes before this happened everything was fine. Everyone was getting along fine. And then a reporter asked Trump about aligning with Russia. Trump says I’m just aligned with America and I’m aligned with the world. And then Vance jumps in and he says, well, you know, you can talk tough and beat your chest, but that’s not going to help us with diplomacy.

And then Zelensky, out of nowhere, zeroes in on Vance, and he says, you don’t know anything about diplomacy. What do you know about diplomacy? You can’t negotiate with Putin. He can’t be trusted. He violates ceasefires. Well, then what are we all doing here? Why did he fly all the way here? To sign this mineral deal if you can’t negotiate with Vladimir Putin. What’s the whole point of this? We’re not going to give Zelensky a security pact. It’s not in America’s interest to have to defend that country with American soldiers if Russia goes back in.

The mineral deal is the best security that Zelensky’s ever going to get. And if you didn’t like the language of the deal, stay in Kyiv, hash it out for another week, and then fly here. Don’t fly here and get all emotional. We run the world. This is America’s world. He’s our proxy. This world. This ends when we say it ends. It doesn’t end when Zelensky, if he wants to go it alone, go it alone. I’m glad we helped him. Russia invaded. We got his back. At first, it was the right thing to do. But now it’s not. Now the war is over and he doesn’t recognize it’s over. And reality is going to eat this guy alive if he doesn’t recognize this.
