Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is already in the White House. This is the third time he has been received by US President Donald Trump, with the request to be able to use long-range missiles on his agenda. Tomahawk in the war against Russia.
Zelensky was received, around half an hour later than scheduled, at the entrance by Trump, with both posing for photographers. But they made no statements, with Trump nodding yes when a journalist asked him if he believed he could convince Putin to end the war.
This Friday’s meeting (October 17) – a working lunch in the Administration meeting room and not in the Oval Office – comes after, on Thursday (October 16), Trump spoke on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, arranging a new face-to-face meeting, after the Alaska summit, which took place in August. The meeting will be in Budapest, Hungary, on a date to be announced.
In February, the first meeting between Zelensky and Trump in the Oval Office was marked by attacks from members of the US Administration on Zelensky, insinuating that he had not thanked the US for all the military support he had received and criticizing him even for not wearing a suit. Everything live, in front of the media. The meeting that should have taken place did not happen.
But in August the scenario was more friendly, with Zelensky saying “thank you” several times in his opening statements and wearing a suit. The Ukrainian president at the time had the support of several European leaders, who were also in the White House.
