USA's skiing star gave a harsh critique of Donald Trump's behavior: "One should not be treated that way"

Jessie Diggins, a prominent figure in U.S. cross-country skiing and two-time World Cup champion, expressed her disapproval regarding how President Donald Trump interacted with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during their meeting in the White House. She found their heated exchange difficult to watch and commented, "One should not be treated that way," reflecting her concern over Trump's behavior toward Zelensky. The incident drew reactions from various American skiers who echoed sentiments about the importance of kindness and respect in interactions, particularly for someone in a presidential role.

After finishing 13th in the WM Combined event in Trondheim, Diggins was approached for her thoughts on the meeting. The escalating tension between Trump and Zelensky, as captured during the meeting, raised eyebrows, particularly given the diplomatic implications tied to Ukraine's situation. Other athletes who spoke on the subject followed suit with similar critiques about the President's conduct, reinforcing Diggins' observations about the necessity for compassion in leadership and political discourse.
