Tensions Explode Between Trump and Zelensky in Heated Oval Office Clash

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance engaged in a fiery back-and-forth with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a public Oval Office meeting on Friday.

 

At one point, Trump wagged his finger at the Ukrainian leader, who was seated right next to him, and told him he had to “be thankful” after the U.S. during the Biden administration poured tens of billions in money and military assistance into the war-torn country following Russia’s 2022 invasion.

“It’s going to be a very hard thing to do business like this,” Trump said, before Vance broke in.

“You can say ‘thank you’ –” he began before Zelensky interrupted and said he had thanked “the American people” many times in the past for their help.

“You can accept that there are disagreements,” Vance continued, “and let’s go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to fight it out in the American media when you’re wrong. We know you’re wrong.”

“But you see, I think it’s good for the American people to see what’s going on,” he began. “You have to be thankful. You don’t have the cards. You’re buried there. Your people are dying. You’re running low on soldiers –” he continued as Zelensky continued trying to interrupt.

 

“No, listen,” Trump went on. “The you tell us, ‘I don’t want a cease fire. I don’t want a cease fire.’ Look — if you could get a cease-fire right now, I tell ya you’d take it so the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed.”

 

“Of course I want to stop the war,” Zelensky countered. “But I said to you with guarantees.”

“But you’re saying you don’t want a cease-fire,” Trump responded. “I want a cease-fire. Because you’ll get a cease-fire faster than you’ll get an agreement.”
