- all Trump would do is back up Putin, refuse to call him a dictator, ramble on about how Putin got shortchanged in the Russian influence discussions, and demanded more thanks from Ukraine for the US support.
- Trump then goes on to belittle Zelenskyy, saying he doesn't have the cards and would not have lasted 2 weeks without
US support.
That may be correct, but what is Trump doing making these kinds of statements in an Oval Office setting such as this....
The minerals deal was not signed. We may never know the reason why, or what all was in the proposed agreement.

Whatever . . . .it all \seems to have worked.Zelenski ran off to talk with European leaders . Whatever they told him. perhaps over lunch) he decided to slink back and do what President Trump wants anyway.
So, the "Oval Office Fiasco" worked.
