10:45 am today

A meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky devolved into a shouting match at the Oval Office, with the US president berating Ukraine's leader and Vice President JD Vance questioning whether Zelensky had demonstrated enough gratitude for US support.

Before the blowup, Trump said he and Zelensky would be signing a natural resources agreement.

However, a source told CNN that did not happen.

White House officials confirmed Ukraine's leader left the White House early and a scheduled news conference was cancelled.
