At White House Meeting, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz urged Donald Trump to press Russia for a ceasefire, stressing it must be agreed on “by the next meeting.” Merz said he cannot imagine negotiations moving forward without it, while Trump argued wars he claims to have settled ended without formal ceasefires. The exchange highlights ongoing differences between the U.S., EU, and Ukraine over strategy. Interestingly, Ukraine’s President Zelensky avoided reiterating his past demands for a ceasefire, signaling a possible softening of his stance.

In a dramatic White House moment, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia is “very attainable,” urging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin to intensify direct talks. While acknowledging that all sides would prefer an immediate ceasefire, Trump emphasized that Washington’s focus is on securing a “lasting peace” rather than temporary pauses. His remarks came amid heightened global tension, with allies watching closely to see if Trump’s bold diplomatic gambit will shift the trajectory of the war. Trump suggested that both Zelensky and Putin must engage further but hinted that U.S. influence could play a decisive role in shaping the eventual framework. As the war grinds on, Trump’s comments raised questions over whether this signals a turning point or another uncertain pause in a conflict that has already reshaped global security.

A dramatic day unfolds in Washington as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO’s new Secretary General Mark Rutte arrive at the White House ahead of a joint meeting with Donald Trump. The gathering, centered on Ukraine’s uncertain future, comes amid fierce Russian escalation on the battlefield and growing divisions in the West over strategy. With Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky already under pressure, European leaders are racing to project unity as Trump signals he will demand concessions to Moscow. The stakes are immense: the fate of Ukrainian territory, the credibility of NATO, and the balance of power in Europe hang in the balance. The arrival of these leaders sets the stage for a tense diplomatic showdown, one that could reshape the trajectory of the war — and the future of Western resolve against Russia.

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?
