"US President Donald Trump said Wednesday night at the White House that "we discussed Ukraine in pretty strong words" when asked about an earlier phone call with the leaders of the UK, France and Germany. "They would like us to go to a meeting over the weekend in Europe, and we'll make a determination, depending on what they come back with," Trump said, without specifying whom he was referring to."
"Asked whether the gathering was expected to include the Ukrainian president, Trump answered: "With Zelensky and us." The UK, France, and Germany, along with Ukraine and other partners, have been working frantically over the last few weeks to have a revised proposal that balances out a US proposal for peace in Ukraine. The so-called E3 leaders have been aiming to secure security guarantees for Ukraine once there's a peace accord."
President Donald Trump said he "discussed Ukraine in pretty strong words" during a phone call with the leaders of the UK, France and Germany and reported they asked the United States to attend a possible weekend meeting in Europe. Trump said he would decide based on what they "come back with" and indicated the gathering would be "with Zelensky and us." The UK, France and Germany, together with Ukraine and partners, have prepared a revised proposal to balance a US peace proposal and seek security guarantees for Ukraine after any accord. Tensions between Washington and Europe have risen over the new US National Security Strategy, with Trump calling European leaders "weak" and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz calling the US paper "unacceptable."
