Trump live updates: President meeting with Zelensky, European allies today

Follow The Post’s live updates on the Trump administration as the president meets with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and European allies at the White House on Monday.

Zelensky, wearing a military-style suit, arrived at the White House shortly after 1 p.m. and met with Trump in the Oval Office — a warm sit-down that was wildly different in tone from the blowup that ensued the last time the two leaders gathered in the same spot in February.

Trump and Zelensky then met behind closed doors. Seven European leaders have now joined them to discuss an end to Putin’s three-year war on Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated that he would like to see President Trump participate in a future meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, should such a face-to-face come to fruition.

“President Trump will try to organize such [a] meeting,” Zelensky said of Trump’s push for another meeting with Putin. “And he said that he will come or not come, Ukraine will be happy if you [do].”

Trump had dangled the possibility of attending, what he described as a trilateral meeting, and noted he plans to call Putin after Monday’s meeting to set that up.
