President Trump and Vice President JD Vance clashed with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine in an explosive Oval Office meeting that resulted in the cancellation of a rare minerals deal and strained relations between the two countries. The confrontation, marked by raised voices and threats of abandonment, left the future of the deal uncertain and strengthened ties between Ukraine and Russia. President Trump criticized Mr. Zelensky for disrespecting the US and implied that his involvement in negotiations made peace difficult to achieve. The blow-up came after a planned signing ceremony was scrapped, following a heated exchange in which Mr. Zelensky defended Ukraine’s position in the ongoing conflict with Russia. Vice President Vance accused Mr. Zelensky of disrespect and suggested he should be grateful for US support. The outburst highlighted the stark contrast between Mr. Trump’s treatment of Mr. Zelensky and his admiration for President Putin, whom he has praised and sided with. Mr. Trump’s demands for Ukraine to repay military aid with natural resources have led to tension between the two countries. The incident raised questions about the effectiveness of US foreign policy in the region and the future of diplomatic relations. With the minerals deal in limbo, the aftermath of the confrontation remains uncertain, but it has shifted the dynamics between Ukraine and its allies.
