as they meet in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, February 28, 2025 (SAUL LOEB / AFP) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is leaving the White House early after a contentious Oval Office meeting with US President Donald Trump, a White House official says.
The announcement comes after Trump and US Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukrainian president.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump repeats that Zelensky was “disrespectful.”
“I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations,” Trump writes. “I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE.”
“He can come back when he is ready for Peace,” he adds.
Zelensky had been scheduled to have lunch with Trump and both leaders were going to sign a minerals deal during a joint news conference.
Instead, Zelensky’s armored SUV abruptly pulled up to the door of the West Wing moments after Trump’s post.
I think Zelenskyy wanted to have a confrontation with Vance to see how Trump would respond, would he defend his Vice President or would be so desperate for a mineral deal that he would take Zelenskyy’s side..what Zelenskyy learned today is that Trump trusts Vance 1000 percent, that is his Vice President, that is his TOP GUY don’t mess with him
Yeh, he didn’t leave he got the bums rush.
