Zelenskyy and Trump disagreed over U.S. support appreciation

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump had a tense meeting that ended abruptly after a heated argument. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance criticized Zelenskyy for perceived disrespect and demanded greater appreciation for U.S. support. The meeting, intended to finalize a minerals agreement, turned confrontational over discussions about a ceasefire with Russia. Trump warned Zelenskyy about the risks of escalating the conflict, while Zelenskyy pointed out Russia's history of breaking agreements. The exchange lasted ten minutes, leading to Zelenskyy being asked to leave early. The planned news conference was also canceled, leaving the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations uncertain.
