U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a tense meeting in the Oval Office, resulting in the cancellation of a minerals deal. Trump accused Zelenskyy of being "disrespectful" and criticized his concerns about Russia. The meeting, initially cordial, turned confrontational when Zelenskyy raised doubts about Russia's trustworthiness. Trump and Vice President JD Vance rebuked Zelenskyy for airing grievances publicly, leading to a heated exchange that ended with Zelenskyy leaving without signing the agreement. This incident marks a significant shift in U.S.-Ukraine relations, as the planned minerals deal aimed to strengthen ties amid ongoing conflict with Russia. Zelenskyy's previous visits occurred under the Biden administration, highlighting a change in diplomatic dynamics.
