TRUMP’S HOT MIC MOMENT: At the end of Monday’s White House meeting with Zelensky and seven European leaders, President Trump was caught on a hot microphone telling French President Emmanuel Macron that he thought Russian President Vladimir Putin would eventually agree to a peace deal as a personal favor to him.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is in Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump for talks aimed at ending the war with Russia. This comes on the heels of Trump’s meeting on Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin who insists on Ukraine giving up territory as part of a deal.

“I love it,” President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when he arrived at the White House on Monday for a high-stakes meeting.

Volodymyr Zelensky got his sartorial revenge at the White House, taking on reporter Brian Glenn, who has commented on his fashion choices before.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could meet within the next two weeks thanks to President Trump’s efforts to bring an end to the war, according to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

European leaders are to join the Ukrainian president during a visit that seeks a path to ending the war between Ukraine and Russia.

President Donald Trump and others mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in March when he showed up at the White House in his customary military-style fatigues. Zelensky apparently got the message.

US and European shares largely dipped on Monday, ahead of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington.
