A recent verbal clash in the Oval Office is causing trouble for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as the White House announced on March 3 that all military aid to Ukraine would be paused. This decision is widening the gap between the U.S. and Ukraine, once strong allies. The conflict began after Zelenskyy disagreed with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance during his visit to the White House. The meeting was meant to finalize a deal on rare earth minerals with America. The disagreement has led to growing tensions between the two countries, adding further strain to the already difficult relationship amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
