The deep state liberals are influencing Zelensky and preventing a deal from happening. They initially gave Zelensky hope through European leaders who promised weapons and support, but these leaders require America's backing, which isn't happening. The deep state liberals want the war to continue and are manipulating Zelensky. I realized yesterday that a deal isn't going to happen, and Zelensky needs to be more aware of this manipulation.

We're emphasizing to Ukraine the value of their rare earth materials as part of our support. We expect guarantees in return for the significant financial and equipment assistance we're providing. The European nations are lagging behind in their contributions, despite the closer proximity to the conflict. They should match our support, if not contribute even more, given their substantial financial resources. We're aiming to establish a deal with Ukraine where they secure our aid with their rare earth resources and other assets.

It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've had a long and productive relationship, and we've reached a very fair deal that benefits both our countries and the world. This deal involves rare earth minerals, and it represents a significant commitment from the United States. We've also had good discussions with Russia, including a conversation with President Putin, to try and bring the conflict in Ukraine to a close. We need to negotiate a deal to stop the loss of life and redirect resources to rebuilding. The previous administration wasn't even speaking to Russia, but we've initiated talks and see the confines of a deal. If I were president, this war would have never happened. Your soldiers have been incredibly brave, and now we want to bring this to an end. We'll be signing the agreement shortly, and we're hopeful that we're close to a deal.

I think Zelensky's recent behavior is a complete disaster. I've been to Ukraine many times and appreciate their fight, and was hoping our minerals deal would go well. I even spoke to Zelensky this morning, and he was very upbeat. However, what I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I'm unsure if we can do business with him again. His confrontation with the President was over the top, making it difficult to convince Americans he's a good investment. In Munich, Zelensky was terrible. He either needs to resign and send someone we can work with, or he needs to change his approach. We want to discuss security guarantees, ceasefires, and how the war ends, especially with this half-trillion-dollar deal that President Trump is proud of.

The social media conversation is hectic right now because Zelensky is used to a warm reception from both Democrats and Republicans. The idea of having all funds cut if Zelensky doesn't cooperate in peace negotiations is something he wasn't ready for. What really triggered Trump was the line about the U.S. having an ocean between itself and Russia, and that the war would come home. Trump was expecting sneakiness, but from Zelensky's perspective, he was saying what you typically see in foreign policy papers about what insulates the U.S. The stalling on the minerals deal, combined with implying Ukraine had leverage because the U.S. needed Ukraine, obliterated Zelensky's standing. Now NATO and the EU are scrambling to prop up Zelensky without aggravating Trump and unleashing a tariff war on Europe.

I believe this mineral field will be transformative, and the relationship will be overwhelmed. I spoke with Zelensky this morning, and my advice is, don't take the bait. By the way, President Trump was in a very good mood last night.

I think the situation with Ukraine is a complete disaster. I've been there multiple times since the war started and understand the consequences of Putin's actions. I was hoping the minerals deal, which could transform our relationship, would be successful. But after what I saw in the Oval Office, I don't know if we can do business with Zelensky again. His handling of the meeting was disrespectful and over the top. It will be very difficult to sell to the American people that he's a good investment. He either needs to resign and send someone we can work with, or he needs to change his approach.

It’s an honor to have President Zelenskyy of Ukraine here. We've been working closely together for a long time and have negotiated a fair deal to obtain rare earth minerals that we need for AI, weapons, and our military. I've also had good discussions with President Putin to try and bring the war to a close. If I were president, this war would have never happened. We've given Ukraine great equipment and credit to their brave soldiers. We're going to sign the agreement shortly, and I think we're fairly close to a deal to stop the shooting. I hope this document will be the first step to real security guarantees for Ukraine. We count on America's continued support, including licenses for air defense and your strong position to stop Putin.

So, I saw Trump meet with Zelensky, and it was wild. Trump really laid down the law, a total master class in the art of the deal. He made it clear the U.S. isn't just a piggy bank. We want something in return for our investment. Zelensky seems used to just getting what he wants without even saying thank you, walking in, demanding money without any gratitude. Trump's message was clear: this is how it's going to be. The press conference was canceled. It was a serious power move. Some feel bad for Zelensky but it shows the world that the United States is done being a charity organization.

This is a sad day and an embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. There's no question this was a setup. Zelensky was compelled to agree to a horrible deal that would have sent Ukraine's minerals to the U.S. without security guarantees, all to improve relations with Trump. During the meeting, Vice President Vance confronted Zelensky, which couldn't have happened without Trump's blessing. It was a play to Trump's base and Putin, meant to humiliate Zelensky, but he didn't play along. Zelensky has thanked the U.S. countless times for its support. This was an effort to humiliate him and to scuttle the U.S.-Ukraine relationship so that Trump no longer feels any obligation to provide support and to hand, US interests, and Ukraine and and potentially Europe to Putin on a silver platter.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for creating a fiasco during his visit. We had an understanding that he wouldn't come here and lecture us about diplomacy, but he did, leading to a predictable outcome. His actions set his country back in achieving peace, which is President Trump's goal. Zelenskyy undermined efforts to bring about peace by questioning our diplomacy and making maximalist demands. We need to explore if peace is possible, even if there's only a 1% chance. Zelenskyy was here to sign a mineral rights deal, but his comments suggest he doesn't want peace. President Trump wants to explore a peace deal before discussing security guarantees. He's the only one who can potentially bring the combatants to the table, so we should support his efforts instead of undermining them.

President Trump is upset with President Zelensky, and rightfully so. The Biden administration had their own frustrations with Zelensky. I was personally upset when Zelensky rejected a mineral rights deal we discussed, especially after we presented it as a security guarantee. President Trump's message isn't that we don't care about Ukraine, but it's on another continent and doesn't directly impact Americans. Some gratitude is expected, and Zelensky's accusations of disinformation are counterproductive. President Trump is transparent and won't be manipulated. He's willing to work on peace if Zelensky is a partner. Regarding a meeting between President Trump and President Putin, it won't happen until we have an agenda and expected outcomes. The timing depends on progress in ending the war in Ukraine. If President Trump can seal a peace deal, it should be celebrated, because he is the only global leader that can make this happen, others have tried and failed.

We're coming on with breaking news: talks between the US and Ukraine have broken down after a tense day at the White House, and a planned news conference has been canceled. President Trump posted on social media that President Zelensky is "not ready for peace" and "disrespected The United States." Zelensky clashed with Trump and Vice President Vance in the Oval Office, with them yelling at him about his "attitude" and gratitude for US support. The agreement to give US control over mineral rights in exchange for weaponry was not signed. Zelensky is on his way home. Sources in Kyiv feel that Zelensky was humiliated. He went to Washington intending to sign the deal, but things fell apart when JD Vance accused Zelensky of propaganda and Trump backed Vance.

I think the situation with Ukraine is a complete disaster. I've been there multiple times since the war started and understand the consequences of Putin's actions. I was hoping the minerals deal would go well; it would be transformative. I spoke with Zelensky this morning. I was proud of President Trump and JD Vance standing up for our country. However, what I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I'm unsure if we can do business with Zelensky again. Most Americans wouldn't want to partner with him after that. His confrontational approach was excessive. The relationship between Ukraine and America is vital, but after what I witnessed, I question if Zelensky can make a deal with the U.S. He was terrible in Munich and has made it difficult to convince Americans he's a good investment. He either needs to resign or change his approach.

I've been to Ukraine many times since the war started and admire their fight. I hoped this minerals deal would be transformative, having even spoken with Zelensky this morning. President Trump was in a good mood last night, and I've never been more proud of him. However, what I witnessed in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I'm unsure if we can continue doing business with Zelensky. His handling of the meeting and confrontation with the president was excessive. While the relationship between Ukraine and America remains vital, I question Zelensky's ability to strike a deal with the U.S. after this. He was terrible in Munich, making it difficult to convince Americans he's a worthwhile investment. He either needs to resign and send someone we can work with, or he needs to change his approach.

President Zelensky was initially willing to sign a deal, but delayed it, even after being urged to do so in person at the White House. An agreement was prepared for signing, but Zelensky never signed it. An unelected president of a client state, whose bureaucrats' retirement accounts are funded by American taxpayers, has a retirement age of 60, while France is 62 and Italy is 67. Zelensky, a performer and ordinary person, rose to the occasion heroically but is now stuck and under pressure. Some of his government officials are good, but he's not getting the best advice. The proposed agreement ensures money benefits both American and Ukrainian people, unlike rapacious Chinese deals or loans to own. It's a genuine economic partnership where both parties profit. This agreement regulates the flow of money, which is why some people don't like it.

This situation is an embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. This was a setup, orchestrated to compel Zelensky into a horrible deal that would have sent Ukraine's minerals to the U.S. without concrete security guarantees. Zelensky came to Washington to improve relations with Trump, but Vice President Vance confronted him, which I believe was deliberate and known by Trump. This was a play to Trump's base and, more importantly, to show fealty to Putin and humiliate Zelensky. Zelensky, showing dignity and representing his people, didn't follow the script and tried to correct the lies being told. It wasn't about gratitude; it was an effort to undermine the U.S.-Ukraine relationship, allowing Trump to hand U.S. interests and Ukraine to Putin. The big question is, why?

I think the situation with Ukraine is a complete disaster. I've been there many times since the war started and appreciate their fight. I had hoped this minerals deal would transform our relationship, and I even spoke with Zelensky this morning. President Trump was in a very good mood last night, and I've never been more proud of him. However, what I witnessed in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I'm unsure if we can do business with Zelensky again. His handling of the meeting was over the top, and I don't think most Americans would want to partner with him. While the relationship between Ukraine and America is vital, I question if Zelensky can make a deal after this. He was terrible in Munich, making it hard to convince Americans he's a good investment. He either needs to resign and send someone we can work with, or he needs to change his approach.

I've never seen an exchange like that between Zelensky and President Trump. I can't stand Putin, but Zelensky is indicative of a pervasive problem with nations thinking the US is a never-ending source of support while complaining about it. Without the US, Ukraine would be Russia. These modern comforts are supported by the US military. This mindset emboldens people like Putin because they know the well runs dry. There's no winning without the United States, so it's not a good idea to walk into the Oval Office and be difficult. Everything with Zelensky is a photo op, and it doesn't seem genuine. He says they've been alone since day one, which isn't true. They've received hundreds of billions of dollars, largely from the United States. A simple "please" and "thank you" would be nice to hear.

Zelensky is reportedly attempting to back out of a Rare Earth deal, which could create significant problems for him. He is also said to want to renegotiate the deal. Despite this, he supposedly desires NATO membership, though it is claimed he was never going to be admitted.

I've been in countless bilateral meetings with heads of state, but I've never witnessed behavior like President Zelensky's. He berated and interrupted his host instead of showing gratitude for the U.S.'s significant aid, which has essentially kept him alive and in power. This was very disappointing to see. I sincerely hope President Zelensky reconsiders his approach, reaches out to President Trump, expresses the gratitude he owes, apologizes for his recent behavior, and agrees to this mutual rights deal. It's the best path to peace in the region and serves the interests of both our countries.

President Trump is upset with President Zelensky, and in some cases, rightfully so. Joe Biden also had frustrations with Zelensky because he wouldn't express gratitude for the help he received. I was personally upset when Zelensky rejected a joint venture for mineral rights after initially agreeing to it. We saw it as a security guarantee, giving us a vested interest in Ukraine's safety while getting paid back for the taxpayers' money we invested. While Ukraine is on another continent, it impacts our allies and the world. There should be some gratitude, but instead, Zelensky accuses the President of disinformation, which is counterproductive. President Trump is transparent and won't tolerate being "gamed." He's willing to work on peace and hopes Zelensky will be a partner, not someone putting out counter-messaging.

I may be meeting with President Zelensky soon to sign an agreement, hopefully in the Oval Office. We're finalizing a deal involving rare earths and other elements that would benefit both of our economies. Regarding critical minerals with Ukraine, we're nearing a deal where we'll recoup our investment over time, which will greatly benefit their country. We've invested $350 billion. The previous administration is to blame for this, but we should be able to work it out. The Europeans, who have also invested a substantial amount, have been understanding and cooperative in resolving this issue. We're very close to a deal with the Ukrainians; we are on the one yard line.

I think the situation with Ukraine is a complete disaster. I've been there many times since the war began, and I understand the consequences of Putin's actions. I was hoping the minerals deal, which could transform the relationship, would be successful. I even spoke with Zelensky this morning. However, what I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful. I don't know if we can do business with Zelensky again. His handling of the meeting was over the top. The relationship between Ukraine and America is vitally important, but after what I witnessed, I question whether Zelensky can make a deal with the United States. He was terrible in Munich and has made it almost impossible to convince the American people that he's a good investment. Zelensky either needs to resign or change his approach.
