Ukraine peace deal in tatters after White House bust up
A deal between the United States and Ukraine looks dead in the water after a meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy descended into a remarkable shouting match.
Ukraine's President was visiting the White House to sign an economic partnership, with the hope it could pave the way to the end of his country's war with Russia.
But following jaw-dropping scenes in front of television cameras, he is leaving Washington without an agreement in place, with Mr Trump sending away his counterpart, claiming he's "not ready for peace."
