Trump drops f-bomb in Zelenskyy meeting about Maduro

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump swore live on air during a high-stakes White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while answering questions about Venezuela.
  • A question about what more Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro could do to ease tensions prompted the response after the Trump administration escalated the U.S. military campaign this week, and Trump said, `He has offered everything`.
  • After the expletive, Trump swiftly ended the press conference and broadcasters apologized to viewers for the president's language on Friday.
  • Trump claimed Wednesday he `authorized` CIA operations as the administration declared an `armed conflict` with drug cartels, according to a confidential notice to members of Congress.
  • The episode fits a larger pattern: The New York Times counted more than 1,700 public curses by Trump in 2024, amid missile strikes off Venezuela and in the Caribbean killing at least 27 people in recent weeks.
