Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was seen leaving the White House Friday afternoon after a fiery exchange with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
Trump and Zelenskyy were scheduled to hold a joint press conference and sign a rare earth mineral and energy deal — but everything was derailed after the Oval Office eruption.
Zelenskyy left before either could take place.
Fox News reported Trump kicked Zelenskyy out of the White House.

President Trump shared a statement on TRUTH Social, accusing Zelenskyy of not being ready for peace with Russia.
Trump’s full statement from TRUTH Social below:
A Statement from President Donald J. Trump
“We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”
