White House Summit: Zelensky, Trump, and European Leaders to Meet on Ukraine Peace Efforts
A pivotal day in global diplomacy is set for tomorrow at the White House, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump. The high-stakes gathering will also bring together several key European leaders, underlining the urgency of addressing the ongoing war in Ukraine and exploring the path toward peace.
Those expected to attend include UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb.
The summit marks one of the most significant collective efforts by Western leaders since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. With Zelensky pressing for stronger guarantees of security and continued support, and Trump emphasizing negotiations and burden-sharing among allies, the talks are expected to cover both military aid and long-term peace frameworks.
Observers anticipate major statements following the meeting, potentially reshaping the trajectory of the conflict. Whether the outcome leans toward ramped-up military commitments or a new push for negotiated settlement, tomorrow’s summit is set to be a defining moment in the international response to the war.
