WASHINGTON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday, according to an administration official, a Western official and a Ukrainian embassy spokesperson.
Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., Olga Stefanishyna, confirmed that Trump invited Zelenskyy to a meeting this week, Ukrainian Embassy spokesperson Halyna Yusypiuk said.
The visit, previously reported by the Financial Times, comes as Trump said the U.S. is considering approving Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine, adding that they would be “a new step of aggression” in that country's war against Russia. If the administration provided the long-range missiles, it would mark a new level of U.S. support for Ukraine in the war.
"We may not, but we may do it," Trump said on Air Force One on Monday. "I think it’s appropriate to bring up — yeah, I want to. I want to see the war settled." Trump also said he and Zelenskyy discussed the possibility of Ukraine obtaining Tomahawks by phone over the weekend. “We’ll see,” Trump said.
