After an altercation in the Oval Office, a Trump aide demands Zelensky apologize.

-


Mediapersons sat stunned as an extraordinary Oval Office clash ensued between US President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Ukrainian President was accused of not being "thankful" for US help in the three-year war. "You don't have the cards right now," he said. "You're either going to make a deal or we're out, and if we're out, you'll fight it out and I don't think it's going to be pretty." Zelensky left without a minerals deal painted as a significant step towards a US-brokered truce, while Trump said the leader was simply not ready for peace with Russia.

The meeting followed Trump's phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which his government made it apparent that Moscow did not want Ukraine to be a part of NATO. Voters accused Trump and Vance of carrying out Putin's "dirty work" when they scolded Zelensky in front of the international press.Trump and Zelensky's animosity has been simmering since their impeachment in 2019.
The animosity between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had been festering since at least 2019, when Trump was facing his first impeachment, until it burst violently during their meeting in the Oval Office.

In a July 2019 phone call, Trump had requested Zelensky to look into potential corruption in the lives of his son Hunter and former President Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's front-runner against him in the 2020 race. He then released the approximately $400 million in aid to Ukraine that he had withheld in the days prior to the call.

After Fiery Trump-Zelensky Spat, What Next For Ukraine?

The fiery altercation between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House was shocking but not entirely unexpected, analysts said, with the way forward for Kyiv looking increasingly uncertain.

Trump has refused to say if he would provide any security guarantees for peace, insisting Putin "respects" him enough not to break any deal.

Brian Finucane, a senior adviser at the International Crisis Group (ICG), said Friday's meeting was always likely to be tense. "The performance by the President and Vice President in the Oval Office was unprecedented, but not altogether surprising given President Trump's well-known feelings about US military support to Ukraine and the narrative about Russia's war on Ukraine which he has promoted," he said.

When asked, Trump and those in his administration have repeatedly refused to place responsibility on Moscow for starting the war.
