White House National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said the United States aims to achieve a lasting peace between Moscow and Kiev, which includes a territorial swap in exchange for European-led security guarantees.
He added that this requires a Ukrainian leader who is willing to achieve a lasting peace with Russia, but it is not clear whether Zelenkiy is prepared for such a thing.
Asked if Mr. Trump wants President Zelenskiy to resign, Waltz told CNN's "State of the Union" program: " We need a leader who can make a deal with us, possibly with Russia, and end the war."
" If it becomes clear that President Zelenskyy's personal or political motives conflict with ending the war in his country, then I think we have a real problem ," Mr. Waltz said.
House Speaker Mike Johnson also suggested that Ukraine may need another leader if President Zelenskiy does not comply with the United States' demands.
" Something has to change. Either he has to come to his senses and come back to the table with gratitude, or someone else has to lead the country to do that," Johnson said.
Friday's Oval Office meeting publicly exposed tensions between President Zelenskyy and Mr. Trump. As a result, an agreement between the two countries to jointly exploit rare earth minerals in Ukraine's subsoil was not signed.
