Trump rejects reconciliation with Zelensky after Oval Office meeting
US President Donald Trump declined to reconcile with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after a tense meeting in the Oval Office. Reports indicate that Trump was less enthusiastic about mending relations following their heated exchange. During the meeting, Trump criticized Zelensky for being "disrespectful" regarding US support. The two leaders were expected to sign a minerals deal, but Zelensky left the White House early without an agreement. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer attempted to facilitate a reconciliation while Zelensky was still in Washington. European leaders are supporting Ukraine, with Starmer planning a summit to discuss further aid and support for the country.
