Trump and Zelensky met with other world leaders in White House as Russia peace deal inches closer
Donald Trump met with Volodymyr Zelensky and a large group of European leaders who descended on the White House Monday to support Ukraine’s president, bracing for the possibility of another explosive series of meetings that could change the course of his country’s future.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, alongside several European allies. Trump has urged Zelenskyy to accept a land swap deal with Russia after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.
It is quite possible that Monday's meeting in the White House could prove even more crucial to the future of Ukraine - and for all of Europe's security - than last Friday's US-Russia summit in Alaska. On the surface, that Putin-Trump reunion seemed to live down to every expectation.

European leaders arrive at White House in show of support for Ukraine ahead of Trump meeting
European leaders arrived at the White House on Monday in a show of support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy ahead of his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, where he may face pressure to end the war with Russia on terms favorable to Moscow.
President Trump is expected to press Ukraine to make concessions to end the war. President Volodymyr Zelensky will likely ask what, if anything, Russia is offering in return.
President Trump has abandoned a push for a cease-fire, arguing instead for a full peace agreement, a position held by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The documents reportedly included plans for a canceled luncheon, seating charts, a gift presentation and phone numbers for U.S. and Russian officials.
President Donald Trump’s foreign envoy Steve Witkoff — one of three American participants in Friday’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin — described on Sunday several major agreements reached during the Alaska talks that he said created strong momentum toward a peace agreement with Ukraine.
