JD Vance’s cousin shares anger at vice president’s treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky

JD Vance’s cousin has slammed the US vice president for allowing the “belittling” of Volodymyr Zelensky during his disastrous Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump last month. In his first interview with a UK newspaper, Nate Vance, a former US marine currently volunteering on the frontline alongside Ukrainian forces, told The Independent of his anger at the White House “ambush” of President Zelensky. “There was a journalist giving the president of a nation a hard time,” he told World Affairs Editor Sam Kiley, referring to Republican reporter Brian Glenn asking the Ukraine leader why he hadn’t worn a suit to meet Trump. “That guy needs to shut the f*** up.”
