Trump and Zelenskyy Disagree Over Ukraine Conflict

During a meeting at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy engaged in a heated exchange over the ongoing conflict with Russia. Zelenskyy urged Trump to adopt a firmer stance against Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Trump emphasized the need for compromise, suggesting that Ukraine should be more thankful for U.S. support. The meeting, intended to finalize a deal on Ukraine's mineral resources, was marked by accusations of disrespect and disagreements over military aid and security commitments. Despite the tension, Zelenskyy acknowledged that Trump might still be supportive of Ukraine's needs. The proposed deal would allow U.S. exploitation of Ukraine's mineral resources, a point of contention in their discussions.
