There is still a chance for reconciliation between Trump and Zelensky
According to insiders, the conflict in the White House "was not planned at all," and no one knew it would happen.
Outrage among members of Donald Trump's team was provoked by the insistence on "security guarantees" in the minerals agreement.
"It was absolutely clear to Zelensky that there would be no security guarantees in this agreement," one of the anonymous sources said.
Donald Trump's entourage does not know what exactly Zelensky can do to convince the US president to resume negotiations with him.
As it turned out, the head of the White House believes that the Ukrainian leader allegedly does not want to negotiate an "end of the war." Despite this, there is still a chance for reconciliation.
"The ball is in President Zelensky's court. The president believes that Zelensky should return to the negotiating table, and he should come and fix everything," said an insider from Donald Trump's entourage.
