Not a worry in the world: Trump hits the Golf course

Following the explosive Oval Office showdown, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump have gone their separate ways—for now.

Trump Doubles Down, Then Heads to Florida

Standing beside Marine One on the White House lawn, Trump held an impromptu press conference before leaving for his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. When asked about Zelenskyy, he fired back: “He doesn’t need to stand there saying ‘Putin this, Putin that,’ all the negative things. He just needs to say, ‘I want peace.’”

Trump made it clear where he stands: “He’s looking for something I’m not looking for. He wants to fight, fight, fight. We want to stop the dying.”

After the press conference, Trump boarded Marine One and jetted off to Florida, spending the night at his private estate. By Saturday morning, his motorcade was spotted en route to the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach—a stark contrast to the global tensions still unfolding.

Zelenskyy Leaves for London

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy left the White House in silence, departing through the West Wing and heading straight for an interview at Trump-friendly Fox News. When asked by host Bret Baier whether he planned to apologize to Trump, Zelenskyy responded firmly: “No. I think we need to be very open and honest, and I’m not sure we did anything wrong.”

An evening dinner with U.S. think tank representatives was abruptly canceled. Instead, Zelenskyy headed to Camp Springs Airport, where his Airbus A319 took off for Europe at 10:53 PM.

Upon landing in London on Saturday morning, Zelenskyy posted a string of statements on social media: “America’s help has been vital to our survival, and I want to acknowledge that.”

But his message also came with a warning: “We are ready to sign the mineral deal—it will be the first step toward security guarantees. But it’s not enough. We need more.”

Zelenskyy Meets with Keir Starmer

On Saturday afternoon, Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street, as Ukraine looks to shore up European support following the diplomatic disaster in Washington.
