Trump cuts short talks with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy after Oval Office blow up WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump shouted at Ukraine’s leader on Friday during an extraordinary meeting in the Oval Office, berating President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for “gambling with millions of lives” and suggesting his actions could trigger World War III. Zelenskyy then abruptly left the White House without signing a critical minerals deal with the U.S. that Trump had demanded and suggested was a condition for future support for Ukraine. Untouched salad plates and other lunch items were being packed up outside the Cabinet room where the lunch between Trump and Zelenskyy and their delegations was supposed to have taken place. The last 10 minutes of the nearly 45-minute engagement devolved into a tense back and forth between Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Zelenskyy — who had urged skepticism about Russia’s commitment to diplomacy, citing Moscow’s years of broken commitments on the global stage. AP newswire Nuclear war was the only card Zelensky and his British sponsors had left to play and they played it often. Like most 3rd world dictators, he and his inner circle were enticed by the promise of skimming off military contracts in pursuing an armed conflict with Russia and blackmailed by the British with the loss of funds to run the government when he tried to back out. Zelensky had reportedly signed off the mineral rights to Britain. But since his term in office had already expired, the contract is void. The same can be said of any peace agreement being non-binding to Ukraine since he's also decreed by law the negotiation of a ceasefire to be illegal.
