    Why? He’s not in office, so is a private citizen and shouldn’t be meeting or talking to any foreign heads of state. That’s the law. Not that Donold cares, and has already broken that law, but Zelenskyy should know better.

      It is? News to me. He can’t represent the US government without a Presidential request, but he can talk to whoever will make time for him.

      OTOH, Zelenskyy does have a government to represent. As to why he would want to talk with a convicted felon, who knows?

      Is that the law? I don’t think there’s a law that forbids politicians from talking to foreign ones, even if they aren’t currently in government.

      Various countries had meetings with Kier Starmer and other UK Labour politicians before their recent election victory. They of course couldn’t do anything official, but it did aid in quickly signing some pacts with Germany quickly after Starmer entered government.
