A Ukrainian MP said Thursday that President Donald Trump was "humiliated" on the world's stage yet again while he visited the United Kingdom's royal family.
Kira Rudik, leader of the Ukrainian Holos Party, discussed Trump's U.K. visit in an interview with Times Radio. Rudik said that King Charles "humiliated" Trump during the state dinner at Windsor Castle by subtly calling out Trump's isolationist stance in the Ukraine war.
King Charles said that it was "time for Europe and our allies to stand together" to defeat the growing wave of fascism.
"It was such a nice statement from a leader who understands the difference between value and values," Rudik said. "Looking at it not from just a short-term gains situation but from the historical value situation, from something that you believe in for generations and stand for, then you know how important it is to be on the right side of history."
Rudik also accused Trump of "playing a game" to help Russian President Vladimir Putin escape accountability for invading Ukraine. That game has also "put Europe's security at stake," she said.
"Does he want to continue to be humiliated, or does he want to be a strong president as he promised?" Rudik said. "Does he want to be perceived as someone who can end the war, someone who deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, someone who is actually ready to stand up against China, against Iran, against North Korea, or as someone that all these tyrannies will be laughing at?"
