Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) bashed Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky for his explosive exchange with President Donald Trump on Friday.

The Ukraine leader got into a tense argument with Trump and Vice President JD Vance during his White House visit in the Oval Office. Trump and Vance accused Zelensky of disrespecting the U.S. and “gambling with World War III.”

During a Friday interview with Fox anchor Sandra Smith, Graham, who is known for being a staunch supporter of Ukraine within Trump’s circle, called on him to apologize to the president and vice president.

SMITH: So what do you anticipate happens next? Have you heard anything directly out of the white House in the minutes that have followed this?

GRAHAM: I just think there’s no way the president could have signed that deal. Given the way he and JD and our country were treated. I don’t know if you can put put it back together. I don’t know if you can repair the damage. And I’ve busted my ass to try to help Ukraine to make sure we help them win a war that would, you know, get this war over in a way that we don’t have further aggression. And Donald Trump is the man to do it. I told him this morning, I told him, don’t take the bait. Don’t let the media or anybody else get you into an argument with President Trump. What he’s doing today is resetting the relationship. You should be grateful. Now, whether or not we can put this back together, I don’t know, but Zelensky’s going to be on your network tonight. If I were him, I would profusely apologize to the way he treated our president and the vice president in the Oval Office and show a little bit of gratitude for what the American people have done!

The South Carolina lawmaker also sent out a post on X claiming that Zelensky had “disrespected” America while praising Trump and Vance.
