Trump Invites Zelensky to White House Following Saudi Arabia Talks
U.S. President indicates plans for phone discussions with Putin within the week
U.S. President Donald Trump extended a formal invitation to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to visit the White House during a press conference in Washington.
This announcement follows the conclusion of negotiations between Ukrainian and American delegations in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
In his address, Trump noted that the discussions in Jeddah were significant and that further actions by Moscow are now anticipated.
He emphasized the importance of continuing dialogue regarding the situation in Ukraine.
Zelensky last engaged in direct talks with Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance in late February.
However, that meeting experienced notable tensions, as the Ukrainian leader was reportedly perceived as confrontational, leading to an abrupt end to the discussions and the cancellation of a scheduled joint press conference.
In addition to inviting Zelensky, Trump indicated a plan to engage in a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin later in the week, suggesting a push for renewed discussions on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
