U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are scheduled to meet at the White House on Tuesday ahead of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s funeral. Multiple outlets report the meeting will take place before the ceremony and is described as the leaders’ second face-to-face sit-down this month.
The reports place the meeting in the context of ongoing U.S. engagement with Ukraine and developments in U.S.-Ukrainian diplomacy amid the war with Russia. One account adds that the timing follows recent, widely publicized interactions involving a far-right activist who has access to Trump, and references a shift in that activist’s views on Russia’s war. Other coverage focuses on the fact of the meeting and its scheduling relative to Graham’s funeral.
Overall, the sources agree on the main details: the White House location, the two presidents involved, the timing before Sen. Graham’s funeral, and that it is Zelenskyy and Trump’s second meeting in the same month.
