00:03Former Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Donald Trump for holding back-to-back meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:14According to News.com, Greene's remarks reflect concern that Trump's increasing involvement in major foreign conflicts departs from his previously emphasized America First approach.
00:24Greene took to X to criticize Trump's diplomatic agenda, writing, Zelensky today, Netanyahu tomorrow. Can we just do America?
00:33In response to his meeting with Zelensky in Palm Beach, Florida, and a planned meeting with Netanyahu the next day, she argued that the president's focus on foreign leaders was misplaced and that domestic issues should take priority.
00:46Greene was previously one of Trump's most reliable allies in Congress.
00:49The relationship deteriorated after repeated clashes over foreign policy and other controversies.
00:56The fallout became public when Trump labeled Greene a traitor and withdrew his support and endorsement, and she announced she would step back from Congress, saying she did not want to be a battered wife politically or subject her district to a divisive primary backed by the president.
01:10During his second term, Trump has sought to involve himself in the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
01:16Greene has taken a sharply different stance, consistently opposing U.S. military aid to both Ukraine and Israel, and criticized a deal that provided additional funding to Ukraine in exchange for access to critical minerals.
01:28She has called Zelensky a dictator who canceled elections, and became the first Republican lawmaker to describe the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as a genocide.
01:39Greene has framed her opposition as reflecting public sentiment.
01:43In a January 24, 2025 post on X, she wrote,
01:47President Trump and our new Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, just stopped all foreign aid to Ukraine and other countries, except Israel and Egypt.
