**US President Trump Clashes with Ukraine Leader Zelensky**
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said a deal to end the war with Russia is “very far away”. This statement has caused anger from US President Donald Trump.
Trump tweeted that America will not put up with it for much longer. He also accused Zelensky of not wanting peace. The US president made his comments on social media after a meeting with Zelensky at the White House.
**A Four-Point Plan to Protect Ukraine**
Over the weekend, leaders from most European countries met in London to discuss how to protect Ukraine if a peace deal is reached with Russia. They agreed on a four-point plan to guarantee Ukraine’s defense.
The summit was hosted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Britain and France said they are working together to find a solution to the conflict.
**Zelensky Says US Will Continue to Support Ukraine**
After the meeting, Zelensky said that despite his strained relationship with Trump, he still expects the US to continue backing Ukraine.
However, Trump responded by saying that Zelensky’s statement was bad for peace negotiations. He accused Zelensky of not wanting a peaceful resolution as long as he has America’s support.
**Trump Says US Will Not Be Patient**
In his response, Trump said America will not be patient much longer and that Zelensky should show more appreciation for the aid received from the US over the past three years.
The angry exchange occurred during a confrontation in front of cameras at the White House. The meeting meant that a deal to give the US access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals was left unsigned.
**European Leaders Discuss Military Support**
After the London summit, the UK and France suggested a European “coalition of the willing” to defend Ukraine. However, details were scarce. Scandinavian countries said they would consider sending troops if it had the backing of the US.
This move comes after a change in US policy under President Trump. He has held talks with Putin and wants to end the war.
