Zelensky and Trump clash over Ukraine-Russia war
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and former US President Donald Trump clashed at the White House over the war with Russia. The meeting, intended to finalize a deal on rare-earth minerals, ended without an agreement due to their heated exchange. During the confrontation, Trump warned Zelensky that he was "gambling with World War III." The disagreement escalated, leading to Zelensky leaving the White House without signing the deal, which aimed to create a joint US-Ukraine fund. Ukraine Ambassador Oksana Markarova's reaction to the dispute went viral, showing her disappointment as she watched the leaders argue. The rare-earth minerals deal is now on hold following the incident.
