Trump Rebuffs Zelensky’s Offer to Return to White House ‘Right Now’
Trump is apparently not interested in making things right with Zelensky following his shocking Oval Office meltdown.

Talking to reporters outside the White House on Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was asking to return to the White House “right now,” presumably to continue their earlier meeting. But Trump said he “can’t do that.” The statement comes after the pair’s meeting earlier today ended abruptly, which was followed by Trump posting on Truth Social that Zelensky could “come back when he is ready for Peace.” Trump also claimed that Zelensky “disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office.“ That’s presumably a reference to Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance’s attempts during their meeting with Zelensky to get the Ukrainian President to show more appreciation for American support during the ongoing war, leading to a shouting match breaking out in the Oval Office.
