President Donald Trump reportedly uninvited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from a high-stakes Washington meeting Friday that could end Russia's war until French President Emmanuel Macron stepped in.
On Wednesday, U.S. officials abruptly canceled Zelensky's planned visit to Washington, even allegedly sending him a formal disinvitation. Zelensky turned to Macron, who reportedly personally lobbied Trump to reconsider. The effort paid off—Trump later confirmed the meeting was back on, diplomatic sources told French media outlet BFMTV.
