Trump and Zelensky clash during tense White House meeting

Donald Trump and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky had a heated exchange during a meeting at the White House. Trump accused Zelensky of being "disrespectful" and raised concerns about the war's impact on the U.S. The meeting, intended to finalize a minerals agreement and discuss peace with Russia, ended abruptly. Zelensky left early without signing the deal after Trump's outburst, which included claims that Zelensky was "gambling with millions of lives." Trump later stated that Zelensky was not ready for peace and suggested he could return when prepared for a more respectful discussion. Vice President JD Vance also criticized Zelensky for not expressing gratitude to the U.S. for its support.
