Conversations about a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia hit a wall Friday after a tense meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The meeting resulted in a canceled press conference, a minerals deal being taken off the table, and Trump allegedly asking the Ukrainian president to leave, according to a White House official.
Trump accused Zelenskyy of "disrespecting" the U.S. during their meeting and suggested that the Ukrainian leader wasn't ready to secure peace for his country.
"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 in a Truth Social post. "I don't want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace."

Editor's Comments
Well, this Trump-Zelenskyy situation sounds like a reality show episode gone wrong. Canceling a press conference and a minerals deal? Someone needs a serious lesson in diplomacy, or maybe just a chill pill.
