President Donald Trump hosted European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House to advance efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Last week, Trump met with Vladimir Putin for three hours, with no ceasefire agreed but claiming “great progress.” At the summit,

leaders including the UK’s Keir Starmer and France’s Emmanuel Macron discussed strategies and potential solutions. Concerns remain that Trump may concede too much to Putin, but he expressed confidence in a deal. A hot mic captured Trump saying, “I think he wants to make a deal for me,” referring to Putin. Starmer described the meeting as productive, highlighting potential agreements between Putin and Zelenskyy and ongoing trilateral talks. Key issues included territory, prisoner exchanges, and the return of children. The summit reflects continued diplomatic efforts toward a peaceful resolution.
