United States
Trump and Zelenskyy have heated conversation at the White House
President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy had a heated Oval Office confrontation that ended with Zelenskyy being told to leave the White House. The meeting deteriorated after VP Vance accused Zelenskyy of being "disrespectful" and not showing gratitude for U.S. support. Trump told Zelenskyy "you're gambling with World War III" and that Ukraine is "not in a good position." Zelenskyy left without signing a planned minerals-for-military-aid deal. Trump later stated Zelenskyy "disrespected the United States" and "can come back when he is ready for Peace." This marks a dramatic shift from previous U.S. policy toward Ukraine. This event took place on 02/28/2025.
