President Donald Trump kicked President Volodymyr Zelensky and the entire Ukrainian delegation out of the White House Friday following the disastrous meeting that turned into a shouting match, according to reports.
"We have new details about what happened after that fiery Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky," CNN's Boris Sanchez said after Zelensky's black SUV pulled away from the White House.
"We're learning from CNN's Kevin Liptak and Kit Moore that President Trump and Zelensky went to separate rooms after their exchange, with the Ukrainians actually wanting the talks to continue. But as we hear from a White House official, the White House made it clear that it was time for them to go. Trump ordering the Ukrainians to be told to leave."
"So kicked out essentially, right?" said a stunned Brianna Keilar before playing a clip of Trump berating Zelensky.

"You're gambling with World War III, 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," Trump was seen yelling at his guest.
Then Vice President J.D. Vance chimed in, "Have you said thank you once this entire meeting?"
" Many times," replied the Ukrainian leader.
But Vance continued to complain, "No. In this entire meeting, have you said thank you? You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who is trying to save your country."
CNN's Nick Paton Walsh said he spoke to a U.S. official who believed the meeting got off to a bad start because of Zelensky's failure to wear a suit.
"He said he felt the meeting might go awry as soon as Zelensky got out of the car wearing his trademark shirt with the Ukrainian emblem," Paton Walsh said. "We've seen him wearing gray-green T-shirts for years. He's recently started wearing black long-sleeved shirts more often rather than a suit."
Paton Walsh continued, "I should point out that his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, was seen wearing a suit. He's not often seen in that clothing either. They've been adopting sort of military-style fatigues since the beginning of this war, often appearing alongside European leaders to emphasize the point that they are at war. The official I spoke to saying, 'I know it's his thing, but this moment is different.' And then the official says in their own feeling and interpretation of this, that Zelenskyy should have handled this differently. when vance sat down, he should have taken a more conciliatory approach."
