U.S. President Donald Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to make a deal with Russia to end the war in Ukraine or “we’re out” during a combative Oval Office meeting on Friday with peace hanging in the balance.

After the meeting, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Zelenskyy, who was in Washington to sign an economic agreement with the U.S. seen as a step toward ending the three-year war, “can come back when he is ready for peace.”

“I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved,” he wrote. “He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office.”

Zelenskyy left the White House in his motorcade shortly after the meeting wrapped up without signing the deal with the U.S., and a joint press conference with Trump scheduled for Friday afternoon was cancelled.
