Washington, D.C. – A scheduled press conference between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was abruptly canceled following a heated Oval Office meeting on Friday. Sources suggest that Trump, accompanied by Vice President JD Vance, criticized Zelensky for not expressing sufficient gratitude for U.S. military aid in Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia.
Trump later took to social media, accusing Zelensky of being “not ready for peace” and claiming the Ukrainian leader showed disrespect during their discussion. He further stated that Zelensky would be welcome back “when he is ready for peace.”
After the meeting, Zelensky engaged in talks with several European leaders, who reiterated their continued support for Ukraine. In a subsequent interview with Fox News, Zelensky expressed optimism that diplomatic ties with the U.S. could still be restored despite the dispute.
