A White House official said that after Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and President Trump left the Oval Office the Ukraine leader went into a so-called hold room in the West Wing of the White House, which is normal protocol.
Trump then issued a post on social media saying Zelenskyy would be welcome back when he wants peace.
National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio then went to the hold room to tell Zelenskyy his White House visit was over, the official said.
