President Donald Trump is meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday. It could be a pivotal moment in Trump’s efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. The two are expected to sign a deal that would grant Washington partial access to Ukraine’s minerals — part of an effort by the Trump administration to recoup the cost of U.

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy openly challenged Trump over his softer approach toward Russian President Putin, urging him to "make no compromises with a killer."
