You have to remember that during Trump’s first administration, there was a terrible U.S. ambassador who committed a hit-and-run in the UK, killing a cyclist. The victim’s family traveled to the U.S. to seek justice, hoping the president would revoke her diplomatic immunity since she had fled the country.
The moronic president, treating it like a reality TV stunt, had the ambassador unexpectedly pop into a meeting with the grieving family—on live TV—to say sorry. This is just how his broken brain operates.
Doesn’t explain Zelensky playing along (I can’t call his behavior anything else).
I think they do have some plan to which Zelensky consented (however reluctantly) and this was a “reality TV stunt” to make it appear plausible. Maybe to save Zelensky’s face in Ukraine to have the same partner in negotiations after ceasefire and the new Ukrainian election (has been postponed for almost a year, but that can’t go on indefinitely).

Or maybe yes. In any case this was unfitting.
