A recent meeting in the Oval Office between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky escalated into a confrontation. Tensions rose after Zelensky criticized Vice President JD Vance, prompting Trump to defend his vice president. The meeting aimed to discuss security guarantees related to a rare earth minerals deal.
