Washington DC:
A few minutes after a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Voldimi Zelensky, there was a verbal clash between two leaders in the oval office. In a loud, harsh voice, President Trump told Zelensky you “make a deal or we’re out.”
“You’ve got a big problem… you’re not winning this,” he said.
President Zelensky said, “We’ve been staying strong all this time because we’re in our own country. We’re even grateful for you (your support).”
But an extraordinary scream continued between the two leaders, as the international media watched with total distrust. “I’m worried that dealing this way will make things very difficult to make,” Trump balanced the hopes of a Ukrainian peace deal.
“You’re living and gambling for millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III. What you’re doing is very rude to this country,” added Donald Trump.
Now, this argument was extended to the Vice President of the United States when Zelensky asked him to stop “speaking loudly.” US Vice President JD Vance maintained a firm tone and told President Zelensky “divism was necessary” to end the war, but President Zelensky said, “What kind of diplomacy is it?” Vance later accused him of being “disrespectful” in the presidential office.
This is the rest of the video of the verbal duel between Trump and Zelensky.
Holy shit! Check out this excavation from Zelensky, which suggests Trump is using Putin’s topic:
Trump: “If you didn’t have our military equipment, this war would have ended in two weeks.”
Zelensky: “I heard from Putin. In three days.”

In defending the vice president, President Donald Trump said to President Zelensky, “We gave you $350 billion, gave you military equipment, and gave you lots of support. If you didn’t have our military equipment, this war would have ended in two weeks.”
In response, President Zelensky immediately shot back, indirectly accusing Trump of speaking the same words as Putin. “Yes, yes, it wouldn’t last for a few days — I heard that from Putin.”
Donald Trump was surprised at Zelensky’s resilience to his oral dressing down, but said, “It’s extremely difficult to do business like this” as the key mineral trade seemed to slip. No deal means there is no ceasefire or peace agreement. At this point, some journalists were watching their forehead nodded in disappointment.
To get control of things, the US Vice President intervenes again and says, “There are disagreements. Let’s sue those differences. Instead of fighting in front of the American media when you’re wrong, you know that you (Zelensky) is wrong.
Back in the oval office, Donald Trump quickly said, “I think it’s good for Americans to see what’s going on. So I’ve kept this story for a long time. You have to be grateful for everything we (we) have done. Trump also took a little time to say, ‘This is great TV’, to brighten up the mood.
Mostly scolding Zelensky, Trump says, “People are dying, you are running soldiers low, and you say to us, “I don’t want a ceasefire,” and “I want to go to fight” – you need to call a stop fire now.
Zelensky again slams Trump again, “I ask my predecessor to ask him what he has to say about the ceasefire,” and Trump immediately says, “It was a man named Biden. He wasn’t a former US president.” – he did what he did during the campaign rally, but probably not an oval office. This statement almost certainly widens the rift between Republicans and Democrats.
“But it was your president,” cried Zelensky. He himself was a bit shocked by Trump’s explosion against Biden. Trump continues to talk about the Ukrainian president, saying, “I gave you a Yablin (an artificial anti-tank system). Obama gave you a seat (to cover your body). You have to be more grateful to those who actually helped you.”
“Let me be very straight – you don’t have a card. With us, you have a card, and without us, you don’t have a card,” President Trump said towards the end of the discussion. Dissonance of The press filled the room.
After the high-priced meeting, Donald Trump quickly shared a true social message on social media platforms. He wrote, “President Zelenkey decided that if America were involved he would not be prepared for peace.”
“He downplayed the United States in his precious oval office. He can come back when peace is ready,” added President Trump.
This ugly meeting prompted Ukraine’s hopes for peace seem indefinitely delayed as President Zelensky left without signing a critical deal that marks the first step towards a ceasefire.
