Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting as Trump says ‘come back when you’re ready for peace’

[BBC] – Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky have clashed in an extraordinary exchange at the White House, with Trump telling the Ukrainian president to “make a deal or we’re out”.

The US president told his Ukrainian counterpart to be “thankful” and accuses him of “gambling with World War Three”

Zelensky says there should be “no compromises” with Vladimir Putin – but Trump says Kyiv will have to make concessions to reach a peace deal with Russia.

It was an unprecedented moment of tension, the BBC’s correspondent at the White House says.

Zelensky has now left the White House and a planned news conference with the two presidents has been cancelled

“He can come back when he is ready for peace,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform
