Part 2/5:
Eyewitness accounts from inside the White House reveal a tense atmosphere. President Trump reportedly felt disrespected during the meeting, a sentiment echoed by his aides. Despite attempts to communicate, a language barrier hindered effective dialogue. Body language cues indicated that Zelensky may not have fully grasped the gravity of the discussions at hand, leading to feelings of frustration from the U.S. delegation.
The situation escalated to the point where Trump instructed Zelensky to return to Ukraine, suggesting that he was "not ready for peace." This indicates a significant breakdown in communication, with Trump moving forward and asserting that Zelensky must return when prepared to engage in serious peace conversations.
