After a catastrophic meeting in the Oval Office, Ukrainian President Zelensky traveled to the UK in an effort to get more support from European leaders.
Joining us to discuss what's happened since the unprecedented Oval Office skirmish between Trump and Zelensky is Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan. So, Mary Margaret, first, what have you learned from sources about what took place Friday?
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.
We tried the pathway of Joe Biden of thumping our chest and pretending that the President of the United States' words mattered more than the President of the United States' actions. What makes America a good country is America engaging in diplomacy. That's what President Trump is doing. I gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks. Obama gave you sheets. You gotta be more thankful. Because let me tell you, you don't have the cards. With us, you have the cards. But without us, you don't have any cards.
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.
All right, so at this point, what exactly are the sticking points between the two sides?
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.
