25:51Now PlayingUS President Donald Trump said he hoped to secure an agreement for a trilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskiy as he welcomed the Ukrainian leader to the White House for high-stakes talks on bringing an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine.
“If everything works out well today we’ll have a trilat and I think there will be a reasonable chance of ending the war when we do that,” Trump told reporters. “We’re going to work with everybody, and we’re going to make sure that if there’s peace the peace is going to stay long term.”
Trump has accelerated his push to stop a conflict that has persisted despite months of US diplomatic efforts and his campaign-trail vow to end it on his first day in office. The tone between the two leaders was notably improved from Zelenskiy’s last visit to the Oval Office in February.
Trump says a ceasefire was not necessary for other countries to agree to recent peace deals
