The current negotiations mark a sharp turnaround from the tensions that once defined this relationship, with Zelenskyy, in private conversations, giving credit to months of direct engagement at the advisor level, which has shifted Trump’s view of the war and Ukraine’s prospects.
According to people close to both presidents, his task was to convince Trump that supporting Ukraine is in the U.S.’s interest and to appeal to the president’s desire to be associated with success—an argument that has gained traction in recent months.
The Meeting Between Zelenskyy and Trump
The meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and the U.S. at the White House lasted more than an hour without media representatives present.
Zelenskyy described it as “good.” According to him, they discussed licenses to manufacture missiles for the Patriot air defense systems and the intensification of the diplomatic process to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Trump also stated that the talks with Zelenskyy in Washington went “very well.”
