Trump and Zelensky clash over Ukraine support disagreements
Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a heated confrontation during their meeting in the Oval Office. The clash, which included accusations from Trump and JD Vance, led to Zelensky leaving without signing a crucial minerals deal. The argument was triggered by Trump not explicitly supporting Ukraine against Russia, which frustrated Zelensky. Tensions escalated when Vance criticized Zelensky for not showing gratitude, prompting Zelensky to display defensive body language. The meeting's tone was notably different from Trump's earlier discussions with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, which were friendly and supportive. The lack of cordiality in the Trump-Zelensky meeting contributed to the breakdown in negotiations over a significant mineral resources agreement.
