Journalists in the room watched with gaping mouths as an extraordinary exchange followed.

"You've done enough talking. You're not winning this," Trump told him at one point. "You gotta be thankful. You don't have the cards."

"I'm not playing cards," Zelensky replied. "I'm very serious, Mr President. I'm the president in a war."

"You're gambling with World War Three," Trump responded. "And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, that's backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have."

Vance retorted: "Have you said 'thank you' once this entire meeting? No."
