Conversations regarding a potential peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia hit a major roadblock Friday after a rather tense encounter between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The meeting concluded with a canceled press conference, a scrapped minerals deal, and Trump allegedly asking Zelenskyy to leave, according to a White House official.
Trump reportedly accused Zelenskyy of "disrespecting" the U.S. during their meeting. He suggested the Ukrainian leader wasn't genuinely prepared 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 stated 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."

Okay, the Trump-Zelenskyy situation sounds like a reality show episode gone wrong. World leaders, people! Can't we all just get along... or at least pretend for the cameras?
