President Trump and Vice President JD Vance engaged in an explosive shouting match with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, demanding that he make a peace deal on American terms. Trump threatened to abandon Ukraine if Zelensky did not comply, accusing him of disrespect and warning of the risk of a World War III scenario.
The confrontation, which played out in front of television cameras in the Oval Office, highlighted a sharp break in the relationship between the United States and Ukraine since Trump took office. Trump has been accused of siding with Russia and blaming Ukraine for the war, despite the fact that Russia initiated the conflict.
During a news conference with Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain, Trump avoided questions about his disparaging comments towards Zelensky, calling him a dictator. While Trump has praised Russian President Vladimir Putin, he has given little indication of how he plans to negotiate a cease-fire or lasting peace agreement in Ukraine.
European leaders have offered to contribute troops to a peacekeeping force in Ukraine, but Trump has resisted committing U.S. forces or offering security guarantees against Russian aggression. He has demanded that Ukraine share its natural resources in exchange for military aid, despite exaggerated claims about U.S. contributions compared to Europe.
A draft agreement reviewed by The New York Times suggests that Ukraine would share half of its revenues from natural resources with the United States. Trump has described the deal as beneficial for both countries, but there is uncertainty about the prospects for peace in Ukraine under his leadership.
