Donald Trump ended a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after a heated exchange at the White House.

The clash disrupted Zelenskyy's efforts to strengthen ties with the U.S. and secure military support. Trump issued an ultimatum, saying Zelenskyy must make a deal or the U.S. would withdraw support. The meeting was expected to finalize a minerals deal, but it ended without an agreement. European officials expressed concern over the U.S. stance, feeling isolated amid the ongoing conflict.
