Trump and Zelenskyy clash over Russia-Ukraine conflict

During a White House meeting, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a tense exchange regarding the Russia-Ukraine War. Trump criticized Zelenskyy for speaking too much, while Vance suggested diplomacy with Russia. Zelenskyy responded by questioning the effectiveness of past agreements with Russia. Vance called Zelenskyy's comment "very disrespectful." Trump noted that Ukraine is in a difficult position and mentioned the challenges of a potential trilateral meeting involving the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine. Zelenskyy visited the U.S. to discuss peace negotiations, which Trump claimed are nearing completion. The Trump administration is also pursuing a deal for U.S. access to Ukraine's minerals in exchange for ongoing support.
