I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to remain grateful and positive, promising to discuss security guarantees later. However, the meeting was a complete disaster, and I question whether Americans will still see him favorably. Based on what I witnessed, most Americans, including myself, wouldn't want Zelenskyy as a business partner. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about reaching a ceasefire and ending the war. I am proud of President Trump for showing the world not to trifle with him. However, Zelenskyy seemed to try and bait Trump in the Oval Office. JD was awesome.

I want to say that you are the ally I've been hoping for my entire life. Not one American has died defending Ukraine. You've taken our weapons and you've been very effective, and I'm grateful to have you as our ally. However, I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again. The way he handled the meeting and confronted the president was over the top. The relationship between Ukraine and America is vitally important, but I'm uncertain if Zelensky can make a deal with the United States after his recent behavior.

Don't tell us how to feel while we're trying to solve a problem. You're in no position to dictate our feelings, and you're being disrespectful to this country. We gave you $350 billion and military equipment. Your men are brave, but they needed our equipment. Without it, the war would've been over quickly. I was with Obama, who gave you sheets, and I gave you javelins to take out tanks. Remember, Obama gave sheets, and Trump gave javelins. You need to be more thankful. With us, you have leverage, but without us, you have nothing. Act like a man. The president has asked Zelensky to leave the White House because he felt disrespected. Officials felt that Zelensky's body language, like shrugging and eye-rolling, was ungrateful and disrespectful. What did I ever do to deserve such disrespect?

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.

So, we just had a very intense meeting between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Zelensky. Vance suggested diplomacy for peace, but Zelensky quickly shot that down, bringing up a past broken deal with Putin, and questioned what kind of diplomacy Vance was even talking about. Vance responded by mentioning that Zelensky was being disrespectful. Trump then intervened, telling Zelensky not to dictate how they should feel, pointing out Ukraine's weak position and the risk of gambling with World War III. I made it clear that my alignment is with the United States and the world's well-being. I need to be able to negotiate without the kind of hatred Zelensky has for Putin, which makes reaching a deal difficult. I reminded everyone that without the United States, Ukraine has no leverage.

I just came from the press area, and I've learned that President Zelensky has essentially been asked to leave the White House. The feeling is that Zelensky came off as ungrateful and disrespectful during the meetings, with officials noting his body language, like shrugging and eye-rolling. The President believes Zelensky isn't serious about pursuing peace at this time. He's welcome to return when he's ready to have serious discussions about peace, but right now, he's being told he needs to go home. As a result, the lunch planned for them is now going to be eaten by the press staff.

I've been to Ukraine many times and appreciate their fight. I had hoped a minerals deal would strengthen our relationship, but after witnessing Zelensky's disrespectful behavior in the Oval Office, I'm unsure if we can continue working with him. His confrontational approach was excessive, and I'm not sure the American people will see him as a good investment anymore. President Trump, however, was in good spirits and proud of JD Vance's stance. Despite the importance of the US-Ukraine relationship, Zelensky's actions in Munich and during the meeting have made it difficult to gain American support. He may need to resign or change his approach for us to move forward. We can discuss security guarantees and ceasefires, but Zelensky needs to be someone we can do business with.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for turning our meeting into a fiasco by being antagonistic. He undermined our efforts to bring about peace by attacking Putin and making maximalist demands. This makes us question whether he truly wants a peace deal. Our goal is to explore whether peace is possible and get Russia to the negotiating table. I question whether Zelenskyy is willing to do what's needed for a negotiation. Despite reports, we are coordinating with the Ukrainians. President Trump wants to bring an end to this unsustainable, bloody war. He's the only leader who has a chance of achieving this. Zelenskyy should be thanking and supporting President Trump for his efforts to help bring an end to this war.

Here's the White House's perspective on what happened today. Supposedly, the Ukrainians were pleading for a reset. Zelenskyy lingered in the West Wing, hoping to salvage the day, which was planned to conclude with a signed agreement and a joint press conference. However, the President refused and essentially kicked him out of the White House. Rubio and Waltz reportedly told the Ukrainian delegation that a deal wasn't possible at this time because the U.S. believes Zelenskyy isn't prepared to discuss peace terms. He's welcome to return when his attitude changes. The two sides were initially scheduled to have lunch together before the press conference.

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.

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 met with Zelensky this morning, advising him to remain grateful and positive, promising to discuss security guarantees later. However, what I witnessed was an absolute disaster, making me question if Americans can still see him favorably. Most Americans, including myself after seeing that, wouldn't want to partner with Zelensky. Last night, I spoke with President Trump, who was optimistic about a potential deal. I'm incredibly proud of President Trump for demonstrating strength. He aims for a ceasefire and an end to the war, but Zelensky seemed to provoke him in the Oval Office.

Okay, here's my perspective from the Oval Office press conference. The President was being very gracious to Zelensky, even when Zelensky was needling him and saying untrue things. Things went off the rails when a Polish journalist asked a question. After the President answered it, I answered it, and something about my answer set Zelensky off. I tried to diffuse the situation and suggested we continue the conversation in private, but the President wanted to have the conversation in public for the American people to see. There was a lack of respect and a sense of entitlement from Zelensky. Ultimately, the President wants the killing to stop, and Zelensky needs to come to the negotiating table. The real breakdown was Zelensky's unwillingness to engage in the peace process, and he wasn't there yet, but I think he'll get there eventually.

I've learned that President Trump has essentially kicked Zelensky out of the White House. My sources tell me that Trump felt disrespected by Zelensky's body language during their meeting, interpreting his shrugs and eye rolls as ungrateful. The President believes Zelensky isn't ready to seriously discuss peace and has told him to return only when he is. The lunch planned between them is now being eaten by press staffers. It appears this relationship was strained even before this meeting. Just a week ago, President Trump referred to Zelensky as a dictator, though he seemed to dismiss the comment when asked about it later. I'm told Zelensky was begging to stay and resolve the situation.

I'm very proud of President Trump and was also very proud of JD Vance for standing up for our country. We want to be helpful, but what I witnessed in the Oval Office was disrespectful. I'm unsure if we can ever conduct business with Zelensky again after that.

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.

I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to stay positive and grateful. We'll discuss security guarantees later, but the meeting was an utter disaster. I'm questioning if Americans can still trust him. After witnessing today's events, most Americans, including myself, wouldn't want to partner with Zelensky, despite my multiple visits to Ukraine. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about the deal. I'm incredibly proud of President Trump for showing the world that he is not to be trifled with. He was positive about getting a ceasefire and ending the war, but Zelensky seemed to want to provoke Trump in the Oval Office. JD did a great job.

Zelenskyj is getting into a car, not accompanied by President Trump, as he departs from the White House. The mineral agreement is off, and the joint press conference is canceled. The future of peace negotiations is uncertain. How can there be trust moving forward? The Ukrainian delegation, including several ministers, has left. Zelenskyj got into the car, waved to the press, and was on the phone. **Translation:** Zelenskyj steigt in ein Auto, nicht begleitet von Präsident Trump, als er das Weiße Haus verlässt. Das Mineralienabkommen ist geplatzt und die gemeinsame Pressekonferenz abgesagt. Die Zukunft der Friedensverhandlungen ist ungewiss. Wie kann es in Zukunft Vertrauen geben? Die ukrainische Delegation, darunter mehrere Minister, hat das Land verlassen. Zelenskyj stieg ins Auto, winkte der Presse zu und telefonierte.

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.

He either needs to resign and send someone we can work with, or he needs to change his approach.

I can't believe what I just witnessed at our White House. Why don't you wear a suit? You're the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit. I just wanna see if you even own a suit? This man is fighting for his country. A sovereign nation got invaded, and his people are dying, and you're talking about his attire? I hate this country. I've never felt like this before in my life. I don't care what he wears. This man has been respectful to every leader in the world, and you want to treat him like this when he comes here, talk to him like he's nothing, and kick him out of the White House? You disgraceful sons of bitches. I wish I could talk to Zelenskyy right now. Forgive us.

I just came from the press area and have learned that President Biden has essentially kicked Zelensky out of the White House. Zelensky's own delegation is advising him to return home. The President felt disrespected by Zelensky's body language, including shrugging and eye-rolling, which officials perceived as ungrateful. Biden believes Zelensky is not currently prepared for peace negotiations and can return when he is. As a result, the scheduled lunch has been canceled, and the press staff will be eating it instead.

This is a sad day and an embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. This was a setup orchestrated by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance to appease Vladimir Putin and humiliate Zelensky. Trump even admitted it was "great television." Zelensky was compelled to come to Washington seeking support, but Vice President Vance ambushed him, with Trump's blessing. In my experience, such actions don't occur without the president's approval. This was a deliberate attempt to undermine the U.S.-Ukraine relationship and hand U.S. interests to Putin. Zelensky, despite the pressure, maintained his dignity and defended the truth, refusing to play along with their script. His attempt to clarify the situation wasn't about a lack of gratitude, as he has repeatedly thanked the U.S. for its support.

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.

I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to maintain a grateful and positive attitude, promising to discuss security guarantees later. However, the meeting was an utter disaster, leaving me questioning whether Americans can still see him as a reliable partner. Based on what I saw today, most Americans, including myself after nine trips to Ukraine since the war began, would hesitate to partner with him. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about a potential deal. I'm incredibly proud of President Trump for demonstrating his strength. He was positive about getting a ceasefire to end the war, but Zelensky seemed to be trying to provoke Trump in the Oval Office. JD was awesome.

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.
