<p>Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked President Donald Trump and the American people on Friday evening for helping to save his country amid its war against Russia.</p>
<p>Zelensky made the remarks during an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier when asked if his relationship could be salvaged with Trump after a meeting that the two world leaders had in the Oval Office earlier in the day ended very negatively.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, of course, because relations is more than two presidents,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The historical relations, strong relations between our people, and that&#8217;s why I always begin with to thank your people from our people. And this is the most important.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And of course, thankful to President and of course Congress, but first of all, to your people,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Your people helped to save our people.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is very, very important, and we are thankful and sorry for this,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;I mean this, we wanted very much to have only strong relations, and I very confident, we will have it.&#8221;</p>

<p>Zelensky&#8217;s interview came after Trump canceled a planned press conference with him after the tense Oval Office meeting.</p>
<p>Trump asked Zelensky to leave following their meeting, a White House official told The Daily Wire. Zelensky departed the White House shortly thereafter.</p>
<p>“We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today,” Trump said in a statement on Friday afternoon. “Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure.”</p>
<p>“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,” Trump continued. “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.”</p>
<p>Trump’s statement came after a fiery end to an otherwise pleasant Oval Office meeting to finalize a mineral deal between the United States and Ukraine. Zelensky departed without signing the deal.</p>
