Trump-Zelensky meeting disrupts peace talks entirely

A meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House ended in tension, disrupting peace talks aimed at resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict. The meeting lasted about 55 minutes before Zelensky left Washington. During the meeting, Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelensky's demeanor, while Trump claimed Zelensky was "risking World War III." This followed earlier optimism about a potential peace deal, which has now faded. World leaders, including those from Europe and Canada, have expressed support for Zelensky after the meeting. The British Prime Minister has spoken to both leaders and emphasized ongoing support for Ukraine amid efforts to establish a lasting peace.
