U.S. President Donald Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House to discuss ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. Unlike their contentious February 2025 Oval Office clash, where Trump and Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelenskyy’s gratitude, this meeting was cordial. Trump pushed for a peace deal, proposing a bilateral meeting between Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, followed by a trilateral discussion including himself. Zelenskyy emphasized security guarantees, including a $90 billion U.S. weapons purchase. European leaders, including Macron and Starmer, supported Ukraine’s position, stressing no territorial concessions. Plans for a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting are underway, with locations like Budapest considered, though Russia has not confirmed.
