A hot mic caught American President Trump issuing orders to staff after the car-crash meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy at the Oval Office.
Trump was seen ordering his aides to take the entire delegation towards the Roosevelt Room located down the hall. And that is where they were informed that the President would like them to leave the White House immediately.
‘You are right, maybe we should. Let’s have a little something’ – the president mentioned to the unidentified aide as the press was seen clearing out of the room.
He then asked them, ‘Would you bring them to the Roosevelt Room?’- Trump asked again.
Trump kicked out Zelenskyy from the White House and cancelled the signing of the minerals deal after he felt that the leader from Ukraine disrespected him and the country due to his harsh tone during the conversation.
The meeting soon converted into a shouting match where VP JD Vance kept on demanding that Zelenskyy say thank you to the president for America’s support in the war with Russia.
The aftermath of this diplomatic crisis had Trump pausing military aid to Ukraine as he sought to increase more pressure on Zelensky to engage in negotiations to put the war to an end with Russia that invaded Ukraine in 2022.
