Zelensky meets Trump at White House as US reassesses European military footprint

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a nearly hour-long meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, describing the talks as a "good meeting" as Kyiv seeks sustained American backing against Russia. The diplomatic effort comes alongside broader security discussions regarding Washington's military posture on the continent.

Concurrently, the United States has launched a formal review of its military presence in Europe. American officials criticized European allies who refused to allow US forces to use regional NATO bases during operations against Iran. The strategic reassessment could lead to adjustments in troop deployments and logistics agreements across the alliance.
