Vice President J.D. Vance’s family was moved to an “undisclosed location” for safety after pro-Ukraine protesters gathered outside the Sugarbush Resort in Vermont, where the Vances were vacationing. The protests followed a tense Oval Office meeting between President Trump, Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Zelensky’s refusal to sign an economic deal and his demand for more military aid caused chaos, leading to a public clash with Vance and Trump.
Protests outside the resort escalated, with signs calling Vance a “traitor” and urging him to “go ski in Russia.” Counter-protesters appeared as well, leading to intense confrontations. Vermont Governor Phil Scott urged respect for Vance’s family visit, emphasizing civility despite political differences.
