It comes as Trump's war hero Ukraine peace envoy broke ranks to publicly praise Zelensky - despite the US President branding him a "dictator".
Trump on Friday said he doesn't consider it essential for President Zelensky to be present at negotiations aimed at ending Russia's war in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Trump's national security advisor Mike Waltz said he expects Zelensky to sign a deal granting the US a share of Ukraine’s mineral wealth.
The Sun Says... DONALD Trump’s smearing of the Ukraine regime as scam artists who provoked a war using US taxpayers’ money is a rant beneath the dignity of his office.
Zelensky also accused Trump of falling for Russia's propaganda and fake news as he told of his fury of Ukraine being excluded from peace talks.
