Related: About this forumWatch the full, on-camera Oval Office CLASH between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy - MSNBC
Ukrainian President Zelenskyys meeting with Trump and Vance unravels into an extraordinary shouting match on camera inside the Oval Office. The White House meeting was intended to kick off negotiations over a deal over Ukraine's rare earth minerals. The tense exchange began after Vance said that the path to peace between Russia and Ukraine is diplomacy.
Zelenskyy disagreed and said that Russia had broken agreements with his government in the past, including in 2019 when a ceasefire deal was signed and Zelenskyy said Russia didn't honor the agreement. In a social media post after the meeting, Trump said the Ukrainian leader "disrespected" the U.S. in its cherished Oval Office" and that Zelenskyy "is not ready for Peace if America is involved."
A scheduled press conference with the two leaders was later cancelled. - Aired on 02/28/2025.

(1,664 posts)3. Aside from stripping natural resources from Ukraine for the Broligarchy, the other problem
is that JD and Twitler were being very, very partisan, holding Zelenskyy hostage to basically nod his head in agreement about "terrible Biden." ...which was essentially both parties at the time in Congress agreeing with helping Ukraine. They were publicly taking him for a ride and trying to get him to be dishonest and then kept cutting him off and lying that he never thanked them.
