Brett Favre calls Zelenskyy's White House interaction with Trump 'unreal,' igniting heated online debate

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy participates in a bilateral White House meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President Vance, discussing the mineral deal and potential peace talks with Russia.

NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre called out Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after Friday's meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. 

The meeting had been intended to mark progress toward peace negotiations to end the war between Ukraine and Russia, as Trump had announced that negotiations were in their final stages, and to facilitate a potential deal to send Ukraine's rare earth minerals to U.S. as compensation for its billions in aid to the country since the war started. 

But the meeting erupted into an argument at the White House Friday that was seen worldwide, as many conservatives have criticized Zelenskyy's behavior at the White House after receiving billions in aid from the U.S.

Favre joined that list of conservatives with a post on X on Friday shortly after the meeting. 

"This was a bit unreal to watch. A foreign leader speaking to a sitting U.S. President like this," Favre wrote in response to a clip of the argument. "Glad Donald Trump and JD Vance are standing up for America."

Favre has been a staunch Trump supporter throughout the president's political career. Favre's latest praise of Trump was met with mostly supportive reactions in his responses, but some criticisms as well.
