Trump excludes Russian media from Zelenskyy meeting coverage

The Trump administration excluded a representative from the Russian state media outlet TASS from covering a meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. The White House stated TASS was not on the approved media list for the event. The decision was made after TASS attempted to enter the Oval Office. A White House official confirmed the reporter was escorted out once staff realized he was present. During the meeting, tensions rose as Vice President Vance confronted Zelenskyy about his comments. Trump later remarked that Zelenskyy was not ready for peace, criticizing his approach during the discussion.
