Zelenskyy meets Trump in Washington as Iranian missiles target US bases

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met US President Donald Trump at the White House for over an hour to discuss reviving diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Zelenskyy noted that while Washington, Kyiv, and European allies support stopping the conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected even a temporary ceasefire. The talks followed a visit to Kyiv by political commentator Laura Loomer, whose softened stance on Ukraine was publicly endorsed by Trump.

Meanwhile, US Central Command confirmed that Iranian forces launched several ballistic missiles toward American military installations in the Middle East, all of which were intercepted. Trump subsequently warned that failure to reach a diplomatic agreement with Tehran could result in a return to severe military action, emphasizing that the window for negotiations remains limited.
