During a heated discussion that took place in the Oval Office on Friday, President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he was “gambling with World War III.” Afterwards, he called off a news conference and stated that the leader of the wartime operation was “not ready for peace” with Russia.
In spite of the fact that the first half of the visit was pleasant, Zelensky appeared to be patronizing Vice President JD Vance, which led to the high-stakes meeting going completely wrong. The first time, It was anticipated that the visit would feature the signing of a framework agreement that would provide the United States with a stake in the rare-earth elements that are produced in Ukraine.
The spark appeared out of nowhere when Zelensky began the visit by showing Trump images of Ukrainian civilians both before and after they were taken captive by Russian soldiers. Additionally, Zelensky presented Trump with the belt that belonged to Oleksandr Usyk, the heavyweight boxing champion.
