US President Donald Trump will welcome his Ukrainian counterpart to Washington on Friday for talks about how they can force Russia’s Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table, including the possibility of supplying US-made Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv.
The meeting will be Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s third with the US president at the White House since Trump returned to office in January.
Trump and Zelenskyy held phone calls over the weekend, during which they discussed the possibility of Nato allies buying Tomahawk missiles for Kyiv — a long-range weapon that would extend Ukraine’s strike capability as far as Moscow and beyond — and how to bring an end to Russia’s full-scale war.
