U.S. President Donald Trump said the news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was canceled after a meeting in the Oval Office, February 28, 2025.
A White House meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy aiming to secure a deal that would allow the U.S. access to Ukrainian rare mineral rights turned into a shouting match between the two leaders with Trump threatening Zelenskyy with “You’re either going to make a deal or we’re out.”
In a statement on social media following the meeting, Trump indicated the proposed deal is off.
“I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations,” Trump wrote.
