Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Trump and Vice President Vance in the Oval Office where the conversation turned into a fiery exchange. The White House meeting was supposed to focus on a deal over Ukraine’s rare earth minerals but quickly took a turn when VP Vance said the “path to peace between Russia and Ukraine is diplomacy.” The Ukrainian president appeared to not like that statement, challenging Vance and the heated exchange went on from there where at one point Trump called Zelenskyy “disrespectful” telling him he “does not have any cards right now.” We break down this fiery exchange and how it might affect America’s foreign policy.
