In a recent high-stakes meeting at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy engaged in a heated exchange over the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and a proposed minerals deal. The discussion escalated when President Trump accused President Zelenskyy of being unprepared for peace negotiations and showing disrespect toward the United States. Vice President JD Vance also criticized Zelenskyy's approach, leading to a contentious atmosphere. At one point, President Trump warned Zelenskyy that he was "gambling with World War III." The meeting concluded abruptly, with a planned press conference being canceled. The fallout from this encounter has elicited strong reactions from political figures worldwide. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham called for President Zelenskyy's resignation or a significant change in his approach, condemning his conduct as harmful to U.S.-Ukrainian relations. In contrast, European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and the EU's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, expressed solidarity with Zelenskyy, reaffirming their support for Ukraine against Russian aggression. This contentious meeting has raised concerns about the future of U.S. support for Ukraine and the broader implications for international relations amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
