Zelenskyy meets Trump at White House for talks on diplomacy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump met at the White House for talks lasting over an hour, focusing on accelerating diplomatic efforts. The closed-door meeting proceeded without public statements before or after the discussion.

The bilateral meeting follows recent diplomatic developments, including political commentator Laura Loomer's visit to Kyiv and Trump's subsequent public praise for the encounter online. Meanwhile, Washington continues negotiations with Tehran regarding regional security and the Strait of Hormuz. Trump previously ordered a temporary pause in military strikes on Iranian targets to allow Omani-mediated talks to proceed, while warning that strong military action would resume if discussions fail. Trump also indicated he plans to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin whether Moscow provided Tehran with intelligence on US installations in the region.
