Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Donald Trump for meeting with foreign leaders, questioning his focus on international affairs as tensions between the two Republicans continue to escalate.

"[Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky today. [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu tomorrow. Can we just do America?" Greene wrote in a post on X, referring to Trump's scheduled meetings with Zelensky in Palm Beach, Florida, and with Netanyahu the following day.

Trump has played an active role early in his second term in efforts related to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, positioning himself as a central figure in negotiations aimed at ending both conflicts. Greene has repeatedly opposed U.S. military aid and foreign intervention, arguing that voters rejected such policies in the 2024 election.

Her comments followed criticism she made last week of the administration's campaign against Venezuela. In a social media post, Greene said at the time many voters "are not buying that this is really about drugs and sanctioned oil tankers," arguing instead that Trump's actions point toward regime change. "People voted in 2024 against foreign intervention and foreign regime change," she said, adding, "people are so sick of it."

The remarks are part of a broader public rift that has developed between Greene and Trump in recent weeks. The relationship deteriorated after Greene criticized the administration over its reluctance to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump later withdrew his endorsement of Greene and mocked her during a rally in North Carolina, calling her "Marjorie Traitor Brown."

Greene responded by saying Trump was "having some confusion," adding, "my voting record and donation history is actually more conservative and America First than he is." She said she voted with Trump "98% of the time" but broke with him over the Epstein matter.

In interviews this month, Greene has even suggested that Trump's standing within the Republican Party is weakening. Speaking to CNN, she said "the dam is breaking" and pointed to recent votes in which House Republicans opposed the administration. She has also warned that Republicans could lose the midterms, citing economic concerns and voter frustration.

Last month, Greene announced she would step back from Congress, saying she did not want her district to endure a contentious primary backed by Trump. She said she had "too much self respect and dignity" to continue amid the conflict, marking a sharp shift in a relationship that once placed her among Trump's most vocal allies.
