Trump and Vance confront Zelenskyy in tense meeting

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance confronted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a tense Oval Office meeting. They criticized Zelenskyy for being "disrespectful" and demanded he express gratitude to the U.S. for its support. The meeting, marking the three-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, ended without a minerals deal that Trump sought. Trump indicated that while military aid would continue, he expected Zelenskyy to negotiate on U.S. terms. The encounter drew significant backlash on social media, with former GOP lawmakers condemning Trump's and Vance's behavior as embarrassing for the U.S. Critics highlighted the contrast between their actions and the principles of American support for Ukraine.
