Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) criticized President Donald Trump and his administration for its handling of U.S.–Ukraine relations after a Feb. 28 Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy devolved into a heated argument.

While other Republican lawmakers have stood by Trump and Vice President JD Vance following the White House spat, Murkowski took to the X social media platform on March 1 to direct criticism at the Trump administration.
