American Vice President JD Vance will join President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a key meeting at the White House today, according to ABC News and Reuters. Discussions are expected to begin at 1 PM Eastern Time, followed by a broader meeting with European leaders later in the day. Vance's presence stands out due to a tense moment he had with Zelenskyy in February, when he accused the Ukrainian president of not showing enough appreciation for American military support. Now, Vance is back at the table as Trump pushes Ukraine to consider giving up some territories in exchange for a ceasefire with Russia. Key European leaders will also be part of the summit, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, NATO Chief Mark Rutte, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. Most of them have supported Zelenskyy's position against giving up land without strong security guarantees, which could lead to difficult negotiations on how to end the war. #US #jdvance #DonaldTrump
