In an unprecedented meeting in the Oval Office, President Trump clashed with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, accusing him of risking World War III and disrespecting the U.S. Trump pushed for Ukraine to give the U.S. access to their minerals and to follow his terms for ending the war. Despite tensions, Trump agreed to continue military assistance to Ukraine while expressing reluctance to send more arms. Zelenskyy sought U.S. backing for Ukraine’s security against Russia, and both countries planned to sign a economic agreement for reconstruction efforts in Ukraine. The deal would establish a joint investment fund for Ukraine’s resources and ensure long-term security guarantees. Zelenskyy criticized Putin and stressed the need for no compromises with Russia. Trump viewed the agreement as a way for Ukraine to repay wartime aid and mentioned using Ukraine’s resources for American purposes. Concerns of a peace deal favoring Russia over Ukraine were raised, especially given Trump’s recent actions with Putin and reluctance to blame Ukraine for the war. The cancellation of a press conference and other planned meetings indicated tensions between the two leaders. Ukraine’s efforts to secure its future amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia remain a key focus of the discussions.
