Former President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Trump Tower in New York, emphasizing his “good relationship” with both Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin. During their meeting, Trump expressed optimism about resolving the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, stating, “If we win [the election], we’re going to get it resolved very quickly” and adding that “it takes two to tango” when discussing peace efforts.
Zelensky shared a mutual desire to end the war, asserting that “Putin cannot win” and highlighting the devastation caused by the conflict. He invited Trump to visit Ukraine, which Trump accepted, indicating a willingness to engage further on this critical issue.
The meeting comes at a pivotal time, as Zelensky aims to strengthen ties with U.S. leaders amid skepticism from some Republican factions regarding continued support for Ukraine. Both leaders appeared on Fox News following their discussion, where they reiterated their commitment to finding a fair resolution to the war.
As the November elections approach, Trump’s remarks signal a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy depending on the election outcome, raising questions about future support for Ukraine and relations with Russia.
