Trump and Zelenskyy clash during tense White House meeting
A tense meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ended without a deal on rare earth minerals. Trump criticized Zelenskyy for not showing gratitude for U.S. support and suggested he was unprepared for peace talks. The meeting quickly escalated into a shouting match, with Trump blaming Zelenskyy for stalled negotiations with Russia. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for real security assurances, while Trump downplayed Ukraine's territorial integrity and called for compromises. Following the meeting, Trump stated Zelenskyy disrespected the U.S. and could return only when ready for peace. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for U.S. support but left the White House without a signed agreement, heading to London for further discussions with European leaders.
