Trump holds White House meetings with Zelenskyy and Netanyahu amid aid delay reports

US President Donald Trump held separate discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on Tuesday. The brief closed-door meeting with Zelenskyy coincided with reports from Reuters indicating that the Pentagon has been delaying the distribution of approved US military aid to Kyiv. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces conducted a widespread drone strike against Moscow.

Ahead of his encounter with Netanyahu, Trump expressed frustration over alleged leaks concerning prior talks on Iran. Separately, Finnish President Alexander Stubb recalled in an interview with Fox News that Senator Lindsey Graham was instrumental in persuading Trump to support Finland's accession to NATO in 2023.
