I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.

This week's grovelling to Trump by the UK should be rewound.

No visit to Scotland.

Been involved in punting a few online petitions, this is one of the biggest & fastest climbing ever: https://t.co/Ya64N1oczK Not sure where it will stop.

Some lovely news. My daughter Judith and her husband Paul have had a baby son, Rua. A warm welcome to my beautiful Grandson. We are all bursting with love.

[MAGA Cult Slayer @MAGACult2]

Yeah, this pretty much perfectly sums it up.

WATCH IN FULL: All 46 minutes of the Oval Office meeting between President Donald J. Trump and President Zelenskyy

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Today's events in Washington are a clear cause for deep concern, for shock, for anger. What we need now are cool heads and clear thinking. We must stand firm with our European allies in the steadfast defence of Ukraine. That is where Scotland stands.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

[Haggis_UK 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 @Haggis_UK]

Douglas Alexander(Labour MP): "President Zelenskyy is probably the bravest political leader, in Europe, since Winston Churchill. That exchange was deeply troubling... the only winner from the division of the West is going to be Putin..."

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelensky!

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦 Scotland stands in full solidarity with Ukraine, and we will continue to unequivocally support Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity.

At this moment of uncertainty, let me be clear: Ukraine must sit at the table of any peace negotiation.

We’ll remember what we witnessed today for the rest of our lives

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

“This was a premeditated gangster-like ambush. It was low blows. It was clearly deliberate.”

Donald Trump and JD Vance were “goading” Volodymyr Zelensky into humiliating himself, says Tim Marshall.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.

They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

A petition to block Donald Trump's state visit to Scotland has snowballed ⬇️

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Jeez. This is absolutely appalling from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Utterly stomach-churning. And is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? The PM must pick a side

[Chris Law MP @ChrisLawSNP]

Disgraceful behaviour towards President Zelenskyy in the White House.

So far Putin hasn’t had to lift a finger to get all his requests in private from Trump who is a tyrannical leader.

Might is right over standing up for democracy and freedom. Shameful
