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.

    Wow the confidently incorrect is strong with you.

    It literally says that zielinsky left in the motorcade and then Trump ordered his staffers to tell zelinsky staffers to leave the White House.

    Zielinsky was never ordered to leave the White House he left on his own accord then his people were ordered to leave after he left.

    It even says Trump later ordered his staff to leave.

    Your considerable amount of smug is choking the life out of me.

      According to you: they left in their motorcade, then left to separate rooms, then were ordered to leave. This is the order in which it was written and that’s what you think the order of events is.

        Let me spell this out for you even further.

        1. Trump and zielinsky have it out.

        2. Zielinsky leaves the White house by himself. There is even a video on him getting into his car.

        3. Zielinskys staff stay at the White house in hopes of further negotiations.

        4. A measurable amount of time passes.

        5. Trump orders zielinsky’s staff to leave the White House.

        I don’t know what is troubling or confusing about this series of events but you seem to be some kind of idiot.
