An agreement between Ukraine and the US on natural resources was left unsigned and in limbo
WASHINGTON – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's meeting with Donald Trump ended in disaster on Friday, after the two leaders clashed in an extraordinary exchange before the world's media at the White House over the war with Russia.
European leaders leapt to Zelenskiy's defense. German chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz said "we must never confuse aggressor and victim in this terrible war." The already-tense meeting blew up when Vance stressed the need for diplomacy to resolve the biggest conflict in Europe since World War Two. Zelenskiy, his arms folded, countered that Putin could not be trusted and noted that Vance had never visited Ukraine.
Trump, whose team said he and Vance were "standing up for Americans," quickly took to Truth Social after the meeting to accuse Zelenskiy of disrespecting the United States. Zelenskiy, asked during an interview by Fox News if his relationship with Trump could be salvaged after Friday's eruption, said, "Yes of course" and appeared to express some regret, adding "I'm sorry for this."
The Ukrainian leader conducted the meeting in his non-native English, and as it progressed he was drowned out by Trump and Vance. The falling-out meant that Ukraine and the United States failed to sign a much-vaunted minerals deal that Kyiv hoped would spur Trump to back Ukraine's war effort and potentially win support from Republicans in Congress for a new round of aid.
