President Trump and President Zelenskyy meet to discuss agreement on Ukraine’s minerals

(KYMA, KECY/ CBS) - United States President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy on Friday to discuss in the Oval Office.

The meeting at the White House had President Trump push for a deal with Russia, with Vice President J.D. Vance accusing Zelenskyy of being "disrespectful."

"You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict," Vance told Zelenskyy.

President Zelenskyy brought up how the United States is separated from the war by an ocean and that the country will feel the war's effects in the future.

"You don't know that," Mr. Trump replied. "Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're gonna feel, because you're in no position to dictate that. You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good."

President Zelenskyy left the meeting without signing the deal, according to CBS.
