Trump booted Zelensky out of the Oval Office in Washington on Friday.
By Geo Kerry
U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly “kicked out” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from the White House following a heated Oval Office exchange with J.D. Vance on Friday.
Zelenskyy left the White House before the expected signing of what had been heralded as a landmark minerals agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine.
This is just as well. It was a lukewarm agreement anyways.
One that didn’t give the United States any of the 500 billion dollars in mineral stakes that Trump two weeks ago said he was looking for.
Neither did it grant Ukraine any kind of U.S. security guarantees to keep Russia at bay.
Maybe it would have been something; a small deal on the path to a big deal (for peace). But that’s all in limbo now.
Trump, in a social media statement this afternoon said Zelensky had disrespected the United States and its efforts in Ukraine.
“I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved,” the president said.
