The Oval Office meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Trump unraveled as the two leaders got into a heated argument on camera over a ceasefire deal, with Mr. Trump warning his counterpart, “You don’t have the cards.”

Mr. Zelenskyy cautioned Mr. Trump that the U.S. could feel the effects of a peace agreement with Russia to end the war if Mr. Trump concedes too much to Moscow.

Mr. Trump raised his voice with Mr. Zelenskyy as both leaders began to talk over each other, and Vice President J.D. Vance accused the Ukrainian leader of being ungrateful for U.S. aid.

“You are in no position to dictate what we will feel,” Mr. Trump snapped at him. “You don’t have the cards right now. With us you have the cards.”

“You’re gambling with World War III,” Mr. Trump said, raising his voice. “What you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country.”
