Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky left the White House earlier than planned after a public skirmish with US President Donald Trump. This is reported by Reuters.

The President of Ukraine arrived in Washington today to conclude a deal on rare earth metals. But the meeting of the leaders of the two countries was accompanied by disputes and mutual reproaches.

Zelenskyy has left White House after being ‘kicked out’ following heated meeting before journalists and an argument with President Trump, recorded by TV.

Trump released a statement after meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office.

“Today we had a very significant meeting at the White House. We learned a lot that could not have been understood without talking in such a tense environment,” Trump said in a statement.

Trump and Zelensky were slated to hold a press conference in the East Room of the White House after a bilateral lunch meeting in the Cabinet Room. But when their first meeting of the day in the Oval Office turned contentious, the Ukrainian leader departed.

Trump called off negotiations with Zelensky in a post on Truth Social in which he said the Ukrainian president is not ready for a peace deal.

“It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and 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 said. “He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

The meeting in the Oval Office devolved into a heated argument in an extraordinary turn of events, during which Trump called the Ukrainian president “disrespectful” and Vice President Vance accused him of not being grateful enough for the president’s help.
