Trump and Zelensky argue during White House meeting

A meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky turned confrontational, with Trump criticizing Zelensky and Vice President JD Vance questioning Ukraine's gratitude for U.S. support. Zelensky left the White House early. Before the argument, Trump and Zelensky were expected to sign a mineral deal, which did not occur. Trump later stated that Zelensky was "not ready for Peace" with U.S. involvement, while Zelensky expressed hope for repairing U.S.-Ukrainian relations. Following the meeting, leaders from other countries, including New Zealand's Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, voiced support for Ukraine. U.S. Democratic leaders condemned the meeting, calling it embarrassing for America.
