Trump and Vance argue with Zelenskyy in Oval Office

A White House meeting between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned confrontational, ending hopes for a deal on Ukraine's rare earth minerals. Trump and Vance criticized Zelenskyy for perceived ingratitude. Zelenskyy left the meeting abruptly after being asked to do so, and a planned news conference was canceled. This incident highlights growing tensions between the U.S. and Ukraine, particularly with Trump's tougher stance since taking office. Responses from lawmakers varied. Some Republicans supported Trump and Vance, while others expressed concern about the implications for U.S. foreign policy. Democrats criticized the confrontation, suggesting it undermined support for Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia.
