Sir Michael Caine recently commented on the heated clash between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy visited Washington, D.C., to seek security guarantees and discuss a mineral deal amid Ukraineās ongoing war with Russia.

His meeting with Trump and Vice President JD Vance turned tense when Vance accused Zelenskyy of not showing enough gratitude for US support. Zelenskyy fired back, questioning if Vance had even visited Ukraine during the war and warning the US about the warās future impact.

Following the confrontation, Sir Michael Caine posted a simple yet viral message on X (formerly Twitter), saying āCalm down Trumpā and later referencing his iconic line fromĀ The Italian Job, āYouāre only supposed to sign a ceasefire.ā His comments were widely praised.

Afterward, Trump and Zelenskyy issued statements. Trump said Zelenskyy was not ready for peace if America was involved, while Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for US support and stressed Ukraineās need for lasting peace, emphasizing the warās impact on their survival. Zelenskyy also mentioned he was ready to sign the mineral deal, but needed security assurances from the US first.
