President Donald Trump held important talks at the White House on Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. The meeting happened after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, joined the talks to show support for Ukraine.
The talks marked a much friendlier meeting compared to the heated February encounter between Trump and Zelenskyy. This time, Trump thanked Zelenskyy for his efforts, and both leaders appeared positive about finding a path to peace. The Ukrainian leader was joined by top European officials who wanted to make sure Europe has a say in any peace deal.
