The White House has warned that Volodymyr Zelensky should 'leave for France' and let a new leader run Ukraine as tensions between Washington and Kyiv continue to rise amid Russia peace talks.
Zelensky and President Trump have been locked in a war of words this week, with the Ukrainian leader being said to have angered Trump so much during negotiations over deposits of critical minerals that the president threatened to completely pull US funding, Axios reported.
Trump suggested that Kyiv could begin to compensate the US for aid sent over the last three years with 'like $500 billion worth' of critical minerals.
Zelensky furiously lashed out at the initial proposal, claiming that it was too vague and demanded a 50 percent share of Ukraine's mineral deposits, adding that Trump was demanding $500 billion worth of the minerals - which was far beyond America's total contribution to the Ukraine war effort of $100 billion.
The Ukrainian leader has since appeared to concede and is set to sign the deal.
Tensions began to rise on February 12, when Trump accused Zelensky of being late to a meeting with Bessent and 'rude' when the head of the treasury made the first offer for the minerals.
He caused further anger in a meeting with Vice President J.D Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Munich, just two days later, saying he couldn't approve a deal by himself.
On February 15, Zelensky publicly rejected the deal, calling it 'not in the interests of a sovereign Ukraine'.
Zelensky became even more erratic just three days later, slamming talks he was not included in between the US and Russia in Saudi Arabia which led Trump to claim his approval ratings were at 4 percent.

“Z” is not much of a diplomat. He’s rather stupid in fact.
Is Trump launching missiles against Ukraine's shopping centers? That's what I'd call "bitter."
Does he still show up in his GI Joe Cosplay outfits? That would definitely piss Trump off.
My advice to Mr. Z is to refuse to accept a ride to the negotiations if there’s a cannoli in the car.
Need a forwarding address so his countrymen can find him to pay tribute for destroying Ukraine and bailing.
Have any Z lovers offered to take him into house for his exile?
Maybe Mark Levinsky can put him up for a while.
If my country had NATO wanting to surround it and i knew NATO was basically NEOCON spelled differently, I’d have invaded ukraine too.
Putin’s bad news.
But even a broken clock...
He’d have all the nose candy he could want for free in France.
What happens to the men on the front?
Certainly they must be thinking they don’t want to be the last one’s to die while their government is collapsing.
Dance Little Monkey 🇺🇦
Trump / Putin dance mix.

He's a dictator that canceled the elections. Has dropped the minimum age for “forced” conscription twice now. Has ruled over an economy that has shrunk by more than 30% (worse than our 1929 depression). Has had millions of refugees flee and has seen his birthrate drop to among the worst on the planet. His nation is massively indebted (to us BTW) and has no real way to pay this back (surely it was hoped that these debts just get forgiven - but loans are easier to get approved than more free money).
Even with a massive propaganda campaign and mass censorship, at this point the destruction of infrastructure and people sitting cold in homes, the deaths, injured and crippled have reached numbers where most people have immediate family that are affected. You can make it to where no one talks about it (fear) but everyone knows the truth which is worst of all:
***All these deaths, cripples, refugees, destruction, and Ukraine has lost both it's political (NATO expansion) and military objectives (hold Ukraine's ground).***
Any election would be Mr. Z's doom.
The US state department is continually polling people in countries (we do this everywhere all the time) and the 4% is “probably” (just a hunch) a real statistic. Other nations do this as well, even here in the US. They poll to get a sense of who will win the next elections, or how popular certain ideas and people are. It impacts how you approach an issue or person.
That is the real reason why we were behind canceling the elections during the Biden era. We wanted to keep our puppet in power a bit longer. He's useful.
If we push for elections now, that really means we want his ass gone.
Some day, I believe we will here President Trump say, Get that look out of your eye. I’m certain Kash will be good for it.
Lots of Ukraine plate exotics in Monaco

Agree. A complete low-IQ moron who moved from prancing around in a rough trade homo leather outfit to prancing about on the world stage in fake military garb like he’s endlessly auditioning for the Village People or a rough trade cabaret in a gay bar. A vile, grifting POS, a used car dealer beholden to the Democratic Party and Soros Left. But it’s over for him now. Heh.
Bwahahahaha!!!! I'm stealing that one!
You, or I, and many other rational people on here will never get it through Zeeper’s thick skulls.
His wife needs more time to pack her designer clothing and jewelry
