Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is leaving the White House in anger and skipping a scheduled joint presser with President Trump after he was apparently kicked out over his disrespect.
“He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace,” said President Trump.
Things got heated in the Oval Office with President Trump, VP Vance, and Zelensky.
Vance called Zelensky out for being disrespectful to the President, and President Trump blasted him for “gambling with World War III.”

President Trump condemned Zelensky in a statement, saying, “It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and 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.”
