Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for stronger support from the United States following a contentious meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House. The discussions, initially aimed at solidifying a minerals deal and advancing peace efforts in Ukraine, devolved into a heated exchange, resulting in the abrupt termination of the meeting and the cancellation of the anticipated agreement.

During the Oval Office encounter, President Trump accused President Zelensky of insufficient gratitude for U.S. assistance, stating, "You're not acting at all thankful." �cite�turn0search1� Vice President J.D.
