Social media users watching clips of the heated meeting between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have called a comment made by Vance 'embarrassing'.

On Friday (28 February) Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy met in the Oval Office at The White House where they discussed a minerals deal and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The visit ended up being cut short - with a planned press conference cancelled - shortly after Trump told the Ukrainian president that he was 'gambling with World War III'.

Trump could be heard telling the Ukrainian president: "You either make a deal or we are out.

"Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

"We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel, because you're in no position to dictate that... You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.

"We're going to feel very good and very strong.

"You're not in a very good position, you've allowed yourself to be in a bad position... you don't have the cards right now... you're gambling with the lives of millions of people.

"You're gambling with World War III!"

Now, viewers watching online have criticised Vance for an 'embarrassing' comment made when he was asked by Zelenskyy if he had visited Ukraine.

“Have you ever actually been to Ukraine to see the problems we have?” Zelenskyy asked Vance.

"I've been to.... I've actually watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour Mr President, do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military?”

People were shocked by Vance's comment, with many making jokes on X.

One person tweeted: "Zelenskyy: 'Have you ever actually been to Ukraine to see the problems we have?'

"JD Vance: 'I've actually seen and watched the stories.'

"ON F**KING TV?"

And another said: "LOL what a f**king embarrassment."

While a third added: "That was a ridiculous exchange."

"This was next level embarrassing, I couldn't believe it," said a fourth.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump later added that Zelenskyy could 'come back when he is ready for peace'.

"We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations," he wrote.

"I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace."

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy said on X: "Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.

"Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that."
