On the eve of going to Hungary to meet with Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, Donald Trump Jr. took to X and blasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for disrupting the London peace talks.
Trump Jr. quote-shared investor David Sachs’ post about Zelensky’s refusal to acknowledge the Crimea Peninsula as Russian.
‘For those who haven’t been paying attention: Zelensky doesn’t want peace’
Sharing a screengrab of a NYT headline, Sach wrote:
‘Crimea should be the easiest concession for Zelensky to make because:
1) it’s been part of Russia for the last decade.
2) the vast majority of its population are ethnic Russians who (as western polling shows) want to be part of Russia.
3) Ukraine has no military way to retake it. The disastrous Summer Counteroffensive of 2023 made that abundantly clear.
If Zelensky won’t concede this, he won’t concede anything, so a deal with him is impossible. The Secretary of State is right to walk away.’
This is hardly the first time that the President’s son has criticized or mocked Zelensky.
Back in November 2024, Trump Jr. shared a video trolling Zelensky would ‘lose his allowance’ when Donald Trump took office.
Since then, he has called the Kiev leader an ‘International Welfare Queen’, the ‘highest paid actor’ in the world, saying he should ‘just go win the war without [the US’] endless $$$’.
But today (25) Trump Jr. will fly to Budapest to meet Hungarian foreign minister Peter Szijjarto, Hungary’s foreign ministry revealed yesterday (24).
Reuters reported:
“It was not clear if Trump Jr’s visit was in any way related to a potential business deal. As an executive vice president at The Trump Organization, Donald Jr. works to expand the company’s real estate, retail, commercial, hotel and golf interests, according to the Trump Organization’s website, opens new tab.
The ministry did not reveal the purpose of the visit and officials were not immediately available for comment.
[…] Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a long-time Trump ally, said last week that Hungary expects to sign a business deal with the U.S. in six months that could help offset the likely impact of tariffs imposed by President Trump.”
