A new report from Bloomberg has thrown a spotlight on a tense chapter in U.S.-Ukraine relations, claiming President Donald Trump is privately demanding a public apology from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following a fiery Oval Office clash. According to an unnamed European official cited in the report, “The Trump administration has privately made clear it wants a public apology from Zelenskiy to mend relations.” The fallout stems from a contentious meeting where Zelensky’s behavior reportedly irked Trump, fueling speculation about a rift.
Adding fuel to the fire, a video shared by conservative commentator Catturd on X has sparked widespread buzz, with users labeling it an “awkward attempt” by Zelensky to seek forgiveness.

Conservatives are already calling it a flop, tying it to Zelensky’s recent refusal to step down or negotiate fairly, as noted by Senator Lindsey Graham.
The Bloomberg report, while not quoting Trump publicly, aligns with his administration’s tough stance, echoed by Vice President JD Vance’s critiques of European overreach and Stephen Miller’s ceasefire push. For Trump supporters, this rumored demand for an apology signals America won’t tolerate disrespect, especially after Zelensky’s attempt to retrade a minerals deal. Whether the video truly captures an apology or just Zelensky squirming under pressure remains unverified, but the narrative is gaining traction as a humiliating misstep.
