Zelenskyy exits without signing deal after tense meeting

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy left the White House without signing a minerals deal after a tense meeting with former President Donald Trump. Trump criticized Zelenskyy for his approach to negotiations and suggested that Ukraine was not ready for peace. The meeting, which lasted nearly 45 minutes, included heated exchanges between Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Zelenskyy. Trump accused Zelenskyy of being disrespectful and gambling with lives, while Zelenskyy emphasized the need for security guarantees against Russia. Zelenskyy had aimed to secure U.S. support for Ukraine's security and a deal involving a jointly managed investment fund for natural resources. However, the meeting ended abruptly, and the planned signing did not occur.
