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.

    Elbow, Leaders of the Free World

    But the leaders of the free world

    Are just little boys throwing stones

    And it’s easy to ignore

    Till they’re knocking on the door of your homes, yeah

    My thinking isn’t driven, oh

    But the music always gives me a lift

    I’m so easy to please, yeah

    But I think we dropped the baton like the 60’s didn’t happen, oh no

      Was true under Bush and Blair, even more so now.

      Don’t just stand there watching it happening

      I can’t stand it

      Don’t feel it

      Something telling me

      Don’t wanna go out this way

      But have a nice day

      Then read it in the headlines

      Watch it on the TV

      Put it in the background

      Stick it in the back

      Stick it in the back
