The remarks came days after Mr Trump travelled to Alaska to meet Vladimir Putin face-to-face for the first time since the first Trump administration.

Zelensky returns to the Oval Office for the first time since his blowup with Trump. This time he is bringing back up.

Trump and Putin met at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday afternoon to discuss an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine, which began more than three years ago. The pair announced “great progress” had been made, but they still did not reach any kind of plan to end the war.

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.

Trump unloaded on everyone from Obama to Chris Murphy and the 'Fake News' media, fuming at criticism of his Alaska summit just hours before hosting Zelensky.

US President Donald Trump is briefing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders about his summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin, German government sources told dpa on Saturday morning.

The Ukrainian leader's visit to the White House in February ended in a heated argument. Monday's meeting with President Trump was less fraught.

President Trump's August 18 meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and seven other European leaders left the understanding Trump and Russian President Putin had reached three days earlier by the wayside.

At what was billed as an “historic” presidential summit, hastily put together in Alaska on Friday afternoon, the optics were as clear and overshadowing as the vast Chugach mountains glistening over Anchorage in the summer sun.
