While efforts are underway to determine whether a meeting between Putin and Zelensky will actually be possible and to locate the summit venue, Trump has ruled out US troops being among the security guarantees promised to Kiev in the event of a peace agreement. He also attacks his predecessors: "Biden has spent too much on Ukraine; there's an ocean between us and them. And Obama started the conflict by handing Crimea over to Russia."
Zelensky gives Trump a golf club from a Ukrainian soldier
During the White House summit, US President Donald Trump received a golf club from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The club belonged to a soldier fighting the Russian invasion who lost his legs saving other soldiers. Trump, an avid golfer and owner of several courses, accepted the gift and in return presented Zelensky with the symbolic keys to the White House. The warm exchange of gifts marks a clear reversal from February, when Zelensky was ambushed live on television at the White House by Trump and US Vice President J.D. Vance.
