Rubio blasts ‘stupid media narrative’ of Trump bullying Zelensky into deal

  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday to challenge claims that President Trump is bullying Ukrainian President Zelenskyy into a bad peace deal with Russia.
  • These claims stem from concerns among European leaders, who are attending a White House meeting Monday over fears that Zelenskyy might be pressured into an unfavorable agreement.
  • Rubio rejected this narrative as a "stupid media narrative" and said the meeting is the result of weeks of collaboration with European allies aimed at progressing toward a peace agreement.
  • He expressed a desire to achieve a peace agreement that would bring the conflict to a close and allow Ukraine to recover, and he denied the allegations that Trump pressured for a ceasefire or engaged in bullying.
  • This exchange suggests the administration remains committed to diplomacy without sanction escalations, emphasizing Ukraine's role as the ultimate decider in any peace deal and continued allied cooperation.
