Trump: Zelenskyy disrespected the U.S., can come back when he is ready for peace (youtube.com)
Reportedly after the meeting, Zelensky was in the normal post-conference holding room, and Trump made a TruthSocial post about Zelensky can come back when he's ready for peace, and then the SoS Rubio and National Security Advisor Walsh came in to tell Zelensky the day was over and he could leave.
The TrutSocial post said, ‘I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not read for Pace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. [Isn't that what the value of any deal with the US would be?] He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.'
People talking about whether this was a set-up to do something like this to Zelensky. So, no minerals or peace deal for now.
Later, speaking to the public, Trump said, ‘I think he very much overplayed his hand. We’re looking for peace. We're not looking for somebody that's going to sign up a strong power, and then not make peace because they feel emboldened, and that's what I saw happening. We're not looking to go into a 10 year war and play games. It was just my feeling that, if we do that, if we sign up, he's looking for something that I'm not looking for. ... He doesn't have the cards. When we sign up then he's got all of the cards.'
‘He didn't want to do a ceasefire. A ceasefire could take place immediately. A contract if you wanna end the war, an agreement.'
‘You saw what I saw today. That was not a man that wanted to make peace.'
And after the meeting, Zelensky went on Fox News.
