Just after noon, European leaders including Macron, Starmer, von der Leyen, Rutte, and Meloni began arriving one by one at the White House. According to the White House schedule, Trump will first meet with Zelensky at 1:15 p.m. before greeting the European leaders, followed by a multilateral meeting with all parties at 3:00 p.m.

The president says he wants Zelensky and Putin to meet alone before he joins them in a potential trilateral discussion.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was greeted by his US counterpart Donald Trump at the White House on Monday as European leaders arrived in Washington for a high-stakes meeting on the war in Ukraine.
