Vice-President JD Vance criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for not thanking the U.S. during their meeting in the Oval Office. Secretary of State Marco Rubio supported Vance's comments, despite a video showing Zelensky thanking the U.S. 33 times for military aid. Zelensky was in Washington to meet President Trump and sign a minerals deal. However, the meeting ended with tense exchanges, and the deal was canceled. Zelensky left the White House without a farewell from Trump, who continued to criticize him afterward. Trump expressed frustration over Zelensky's stance on a ceasefire, suggesting that without U.S. support, Ukraine would struggle in its conflict.
