US President Donald Trump hosted separate Oval Office meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday.

US President Donald Trump hosted separate White House meetings on Tuesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Zelenskyy described his discussion in the Oval Office as a "good meeting," focusing primarily on Ukraine's air defense needs amidst ongoing Russian missile strikes and potential peace talks. Although the Trump administration previously paused US military equipment shipments to Kyiv, Trump reportedly expressed admiration for Ukrainian drone technology.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu's visit marked his first White House meeting with Trump since early February, following joint strikes targeting Iran. The meetings highlight Washington's dual focus on ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East.
