Good morning. First of all, my sources are saying this was not planned, that Trump and Vance were just reacting to Zelensky's, quote, antics and bad behavior. He showed up at the White House wearing a casual black outfit, rolled his eyes and crossed his arms throughout the meeting.

And he repeatedly argued with both the president and the vice president in the Oval Office while asking for help for his country. Right. And when Zelensky suggested before the White House media, so the whole world, that Trump and Vance didn't understand the realities of both the Russia-Ukraine war and Vladimir Putin himself, they were unsurprisingly insulted.

Here's a bit of that drama unfolding for those who missed it.

I'm told that after that blow up, Trump sent a message to Zelensky through National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, telling them the meetings for the day were done and it was time for the Ukrainians to go home. Now, senior White House officials said it was, and I'm quoting, absolutely not an ambush or preplanned.

And he said that they'd expected the economic deal getting signed and a, quote, demonstration to the world that we are partners with Ukraine and leading a movement to peace.

Well, Trump appears to have ruled out a security guarantee backed by the U.S., arguing in favor of the minerals deal. Heading into the meeting with Zelensky on Friday, Trump officials had said that the deal was as good as done and they just needed the leader's signatures. One of the officials that I spoke with said that Trump wants to end a brutal war, but it's really not clear what Zelensky wants.

Hmm. That official also said, and I'm quoting again, POTUS and VP were disrespected and right to defend our nation from Zelensky's stupid attitude that is built on years of Biden simply throwing more and more American money at Ukraine with no endgame, no path for victory and no path for peace.

Well, Zelensky is now seeking the help of European leaders, as Georgia mentioned. He met with a handful of European Union leaders yesterday, and that includes British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, France's Emmanuel Macron, and Italy's Giorgia Maloney, among several others. Starmer led the meeting and talked tough about playing hardball with Russia, but he also stressed that the U.S.

is an important and reliable ally. He says the U.K. is prepared to back a peace deal, but they still need the U.S.,
