Zelensky and Trump engaged in chaotic Oval Office confrontation
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to the White House turned chaotic during a meeting with President Donald Trump. Initially cordial, the atmosphere shifted dramatically as Trump and Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelensky for not showing enough gratitude for U.S. support. Tensions escalated as Vance demanded Zelensky thank Trump, while Trump told him he was "gambling with World War Three." The exchange shocked journalists present, leading to confusion about the planned news conference and a potential deal on mineral resources. Ultimately, the meeting ended abruptly, with the news conference and deal-signing canceled. Zelensky left the White House, marking a visit that will be remembered for its unexpected confrontation rather than diplomatic progress.
