Trump said he was involved in discussions with Ukraine and Russia because he wants to save lives and hopes to be remembered as a peacemaker. Trump and Zelensky had a very public argument in the White House with the US president telling his Ukrainian counterpart that he was \”gambling with world war three\” US Vice President JD Vance accused Zelenski of being disrespectful and \”trying to litigate this in front of the American media\”, and claimed that Ukraine is forcing conscripts to the frontlines because it has \”manpower problems\” Trump then said, \”We gave you, through a stupid president, $350 billion. We gave you military equipment. If you didn’t have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks. Your country is in big trouble\” The Ukrainian president said everybody has problems during a war and that the US will also \”feel it in the future\”, prompting a sharp rebuke from Trump. \”You don’t know that, don’t tell us what we are going to feel. We are trying to solve a problem. You are in no position to dictate that… You have allowed yourself to be in a very bad position,\” he said.
