Sir Michael Caine recently weighed in on the tense exchange between former President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy during Zelenskyy’s visit to Washington. The confrontation arose when Trump and Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelenskyy, accusing him of not showing enough gratitude for U.S. support in Ukraine’s ongoing war against Russia. In response, Zelenskyy emphasized the critical importance of continued U.S. backing for Ukraine’s survival.
Caine, known for his wit, took to Twitter to comment, telling Trump to “Calm down,” adding a playful nod to his role in *The Italian Job*, which quickly went viral. The remark lightened the mood amid the serious political tensions.
Both Trump and Zelenskyy later clarified their positions, underscoring the complexities and nuances involved in international relations, as well as the delicate balancing act required when navigating global diplomacy.
