NATO chief Mark Rutte has urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to try and patch things up with Donald Trump following their ‘unfortunate’ clash in the White House.Tempers flared between the duo on Friday (28 February) as they discussed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine while trying to hash out a minerals deal and security guarantees.
The US President warned his Ukrainian counterpart that he was ‘gambling with World War III’ during the heated exchange, which a body language expert has now weighed in on.
Trump shared a statement slamming Zelenskyy for ‘disrespecting the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office’ in the wake of the tense meeting on his ‘Truth Social’ social media platform.
But the Ukrainian President – whose understated attire has got people talking – refused to apologise, although he did admit he doesn’t want to ‘lose [the] friendship’ between his nation and the US.
