The discussion ended without an agreement, and Zelenskyy left the White House early. A press conference scheduled for later was canceled.
Following the meeting, Trump posted on Truth Social, stating:
"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. He can come back when he is ready for Peace."
Zelenskyy responded on X: "Thank you America, thank you for your support ... Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that."
Zelenskyy met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Saturday to seek support from European allies.
