Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a tense meeting, calling him "disrespectful" and accusing him of "gambling with World War 3." The meeting escalated into a shouting match over U.S. support for Ukraine. Zelensky sought to secure an extension of U.S. defense agreements amid ongoing conflict with Russia. Tensions rose as Trump and Vice President JD Vance urged Zelensky to express gratitude for U.S. aid, which totals $350 billion. The relationship between Trump and Zelensky has been strained, with Trump previously labeling Zelensky a "dictator without elections." Trump later attempted to clarify his comments, expressing disbelief at his own words during a separate event.
