Trump shouted at Zelensky during tense Oval Office meeting
Donald Trump and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky had a heated exchange in the Oval Office during Zelensky's visit to sign a mineral rights deal. The meeting occurred amid ongoing U.S.-Russia negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine. Trump shouted at Zelensky, criticizing him for being "disrespectful" and claiming he lacked leverage in the situation. Zelensky attempted to argue the importance of U.S. support against Russian aggression, but Trump interrupted him. The tense 15-minute discussion was broadcast widely, with commentators expressing shock at the exchange. A joint press conference between Trump and Zelensky is scheduled for later today, along with an interview of Zelensky by Fox News.
