BRUSSELS, March 1 (Reuters) - NATO chief Mark Rutte said on Saturday he told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that he needs to find a way to restore his relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump after their clash at a White House meeting on Friday.

The confrontation flared over differing visions of how to end Russia's three-year-old invasion, with Zelenskiy seeking strong security guarantees from a Trump administration that has embraced diplomacy with Vladimir Putin's Russia.

The meeting, which Rutte described as "unfortunate", plunged ties between Kyiv and its top military backer to a new low. "I said: I think you have to find a way, dear Volodymyr, to restore your relationship with Donald Trump and the American administration. That is important going forward," Rutte told the BBC, commenting on a call he had with Zelenskiy on Friday.

When you're dealing with a malignant narcissist there is no relationship, there's just another vile asshole telling you how it is going to be. The felon made it clear that there was to be no negotiating and Zelenskiy could kiss his feet and smile while being abused.

A couple of years ago when talking about the amount of crime in many areas of Mexico, a Mexican citizen said to me, "I weep for my country." As a U.S. citizen watching this vile, disgusting man in the White House, I weep for mine.
