President Volodymyr Zelensky left the White House early without signing a mineral deal with the United States following a heated exchange with President Donald Trump on Feb. 28.

Zelensky departed in his motorcade around 1:45 p.m. local time, without holding a joint news conference scheduled for later in the day, after the two leaders got into a heated argument while speaking with journalists in the Oval Office.

. . .

CNN reported that following the exchange, Zelensky and Trump left to separate rooms, with the Ukrainian delegation wanting to continue talks with the Trump administration.

Trump later ordered his officials to tell the Ukrainian officials to leave the White House, despite protest from the Ukrainian delegation.

    Was true under Bush and Blair, even more so now.

    Don’t just stand there watching it happening

    I can’t stand it

    Don’t feel it

    Something telling me

    Don’t wanna go out this way

    But have a nice day

    Then read it in the headlines

    Watch it on the TV

    Put it in the background

    Stick it in the back

    Stick it in the back
