Secretary of Steve Marco Rubio rapidly yelled over host George Stephanopoulos to defend President Donald Trump's decision to abruptly end a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about Russia's war in Ukraine.
During a Sunday morning interview on ABC's This Week program, Rubio grew increasingly agitated as Stephanopoulos pressed him on Trump's actions.
"Well, let me just stop you there for one second," the host said at one point. "Why is it OK to call President Zelensky a dictator but not, as you say, call Vladimir Putin names?"
"Listen, we've spent three years calling Vladimir Putin names!" Rubio exclaimed. "That's not the point. And the point that we're at now is, we're trying to get the man to a table, the Russians."
"If there are no negotiations, what is the alternative? Another four years of war? Another three years of war in which the United States and Europe continues to pour billions of dollars into a war in Ukraine? Is that the alternative?" he continued.
"It's not just about getting people to the table. It's about keeping agreements that are made," Stephanopoulos noted. "And that was one of the points that President Zelensky was making in the Oval Office on Friday is that Vladimir Putin has not kept the agreements that were made in the past. Wasn't he right about that?"
