Trump and Zelensky clash over U.S.-Ukraine relations

A recent meeting between former President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office turned confrontational. Trump accused Zelensky of "gambling with World War III" and ended the meeting abruptly, canceling a planned press conference. Tensions escalated as Trump criticized Ukraine's military strategy and demanded gratitude for U.S. support. Zelensky defended his country's situation, but Trump insisted that continued U.S. aid was conditional on Ukraine's willingness to negotiate peace. Zelensky left the White House without securing a key agreement on rare-earth minerals, highlighting a growing rift in U.S.-Ukraine relations. This meeting raises concerns about the future of U.S. support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict.
