US President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Florida for discussions focused on the ongoing conflict with Russia and potential paths toward a negotiated settlement.
The meeting marked one of the first direct engagements between the two leaders since Trump’s election victory. According to statements following the talks, discussions covered military assistance, diplomatic options, and the broader strategic outlook if peace negotiations were to resume.
Trump has previously said he intends to pursue a rapid resolution to the war, though details of any proposed framework remain unclear. Zelensky emphasised the importance of continued international engagement while reiterating Ukraine’s security concerns and conditions for any future agreement.
The talks come amid heightened diplomatic activity as various international actors assess how the conflict may evolve under the incoming US administration. Observers say the meeting highlights uncertainty over future policy direction while underscoring ongoing efforts to explore diplomatic solutions.
