Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky and JD Vance clashed in an extraordinary shouting match at the White House, with Trump telling the Ukrainian president to "make a deal or we're out".
The US president tells his Ukrainian counterpart to be "thankful" and accuses him of "gambling with World War Three".
Zelensky says there should be "no compromises" with Vladimir Putin - but Trump says Kyiv will have to make concessions to reach a peace deal with Russia.
Afterwards, Zelensky was told to leave the White House and a planned news conference with the two presidents was abruptly cancelled.
"He can come back when he is ready for peace," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
It was an unprecedented moment of tension, our correspondent at the White House says.
