Donald Trump Zelenskyy Meeting Live Updates:: Relations between the United States and Ukraine plunged to a new low after a never-seen-before shouting match between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House on Friday.
While the talks were going relatively smoothly, the last 10 minutes of their 45-minute engagement in the Oval Office saw a tense back-and-forth between Trump, Zelenskyy, and US Vice President JD Vance.
Trump and Vance accused Zelenskyy of being disrespectful to the United States and the US President blasted him for “gambling with the lives of millions of people and World War III”.
“You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now,” Trump said, pointing his finger toward Zelenskyy in an unprecedented degree of hostility that shocked world leaders. “With us, you start having cards.” He also accused Zelenskyy of being “disrespectful” to the US.
Zelenskyy then abruptly left the White House without signing a critical minerals deal with the US that Trump had demanded and suggested was a condition for future support for Ukraine. A White House official said the Ukrainian team was asked to leave the premises.
The meeting was a disaster for Zelenskyy, who had been insistent on securing US security guarantees to deter another invasion, while Russia lauded Trump-Vance for berating him in public. Many European leaders also came out in support of Ukraine.
