In the room where it happened: Trump advisers recall what led up to Oval Office confrontation
CBSN
President Trump's advisers on Saturday morning were still uncertain how to salvage a mining deal with Ukraine, which had been intended as a key first step in a Trump strategy to eventually secure a ceasefire and peace deal between Moscow and Kyiv.
What began as a formal meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Friday — a confidence-building step in a path toward peace between Russia and Ukraine — devolved into a feud, with finger-pointing and accusations.
The president's closest advisers — stunned after the debacle in the Oval Office — huddled around the Cabinet Room's oblong table for lunch, sources familiar with the events told CBS News.
