WATCH IN FULL: All 46 minutes of the Oval Office meeting between President Donald J. Trump and President Zelenskyy

@pepelivesmatter

This is what it looks like when you have a President and Vice President who stand up for America. 🇺🇸

@pepelivesmatter

POTUS: "It's going to be a very hard thing to do business like this."

VP: "Accept that there are disagreements, and let's go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to fight it out in the American media when you're wrong."

@pepelivesmatter

POTUS: "Your country is in big trouble. You're not winning ... You have a damn good chance of coming out okay because of us."

"You haven't been alone. We gave you, through [our] stupid president, $350 billion. We gave you military equipment ... If you didn't have our military equipment, this war would've been over in two weeks."

@pepelivesmatter

POTUS: "I gave you the Javelins to take out all those tanks. Obama gave you sheets... You got to be more thankful because let me tell you, you don't have the cards. With us, you have the cards — but without us you don't have any cards."

@pepelivesmatter

VP: "Do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?"

POTUS: "You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards ... You're gambling with the lives of millions of people! You're gambling with World War III!"

@pepelivesmatter

Marco Rubio: There's real concern that Americans' speech... could fall under the hands of British — or any country's jurisdiction... What unites us with Europe is these shared values, and one of them being free speech. And so, if Americans are threatened by it, we're going to need to take action.

@PepeLivesMatter

VP on conversations with UK officials about free speech: "We believe Americans have the right to speak their mind. Even if we in this room disagree with them, they have the right to speak their mind in the public square, which is often online these days. And we are going to defend that right as it pertains to American companies and American citizens."

@pepelivesmatter

POTUS: "We're committed to NATO — but NATO has to step up and the Europeans have to step up more than they have."

@pepelivesmatter

A moment of levity in the Oval Office: "I do like your clothing, by the way."

@pepelivesmatter

REPORTER: "What changed between the first time that Secretary Bessent gave President Zelenskyy the agreement and today for the signing?"

POTUS: "We made a deal -- I'm a business person. We made a deal. That's what changed."

@pepelivesmatter

POTUS on reaching an end to the war: "I'm in the middle. I want to solve this thing... I want to see it get solved."

@pepelivesmatter

POTUS: "It's a pathway to peace. It's a pathway to getting something solved. I feel that as the head of this country that I have an obligation to do that... It's too bad we got involved because there should've been no involvement because there should've been no war."

@pepelivesmatter

POTUS: "I hope I'm going to be remembered as a peacemaker... I'm doing this to save lives — more than anything else... this could lead to a third world war. This was headed in the wrong direction."

@pepelivesmatter

President Trump discusses the U.S./Ukraine mineral deal that he'll sign with President Zelenskyy today:

"We're going to be taking it and using it for all the things we do including AI, including weapons, and the military... This puts us in good shape."

@pepelivesmatter

President Trump hosts President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office — and announces an agreement on rare earth elements will be signed later this afternoon

@pepelivesmatter

President Donald J. Trump welcomes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the White House

@pepelivesmatter

POTUS: "We're going to have a great trade agreement... for both countries. And we're working on that as we speak... We're going to make some great trade agreements with the UK and the Prime Minister."

@pepelivesmatter

POTUS: "Tomorrow the progress toward peace will continue when President Zelenskyy visits the White House... We'll be signing a historic agreement that will make the United States a major partner in developing Ukraine's minerals... American taxpayers will now effectively be reimbursed for the money and hundreds of billions of dollars poured into helping Ukraine defend itself."

@pepelivesmatter

REPORTER: What's your common ground with PM Starmer?

POTUS: "He loves his country and I love our country."
