Dear John,

I just watched the oval office meeting between President Trump, Vice
President Vance and President Zelensky of Ukraine. I'm sure you've read
about it by now or seen video clips of Vance and Trump attempting to
humiliate Zelensky in front of the global press.

One thing is clear: Trump and JD are thugs. And this ambush of Zelensky at
the White House will do deep damage to Ukraine, to our allies and to the
U.S.

Openly ridiculing and demeaning a man who has kept his country alive for
three years against all the odds is a national embarrassment and runs
counter to our own security interests. But they could care less that
Ukraine was invaded by Russia — the second biggest military power on the
planet — led by a ruthless dictator willing to sacrifice soldiers and
civilians by the hundreds of thousands. Trump and JD were trying to look
tough even though it’s clear that Zelensky was the strongest man in the
room. The guy who was supposed to lose to Russia in a matter of hours or
days is still there, fighting. As are the brave Ukrainian soldiers on the
front line.

We help Ukraine because it’s the right thing to do for a fellow democracy
that is suffering a brutal invasion AND because if Ukraine were to fall,
the next fight would be on the front lines of our NATO allies and our
military would be treaty-bound to join the war. In other words, Ukraine is
shouldering the total cost in terms of the fighting, the lives forever
damaged and the lives lost so that we and our European allies don’t have
to.

Trump and Vance are not only abandoning Ukraine. They are abandoning the
security of our country. Today they made it much more likely that our
service members will be fighting again in Europe, 80 years after countless
brave Americans helped liberate the continent and make it safe for
democracy.

Shameful.

It's up to us to engage members of Congress -- Democrats and Republicans
-- and push them to fight back against Trump's disastrous foreign policy.
It's up to us to engage voters across Texas who will decide the balance of
power in the U.S. Congress after 2026. It's up to us to do the work to
save our country at this moment of truth.

Thank you,

Beto
