President Donald Trump greeted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday, with Zelenskyy in Washington to make his case for procuring American Tomahawk cruise missiles and other military assets.
Trump and Zelenskyy, wearing a dark suit, shook hands when the Ukrainian president arrived at the West Wing entrance.
The two men are having a working lunch in the Cabinet Room.
Trump appeared bullish days ago about potentially selling the long-range weapons to Ukraine as he expressed disappointment in Moscow’s onslaught as the war nears the four-year mark.
But after a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, Trump seemed more cautious. “They’re very good. But we need them too. So, I don’t know what we can do about that,” Trump said about the missiles.
Trump said he and Putin are planning to meet again soon, this time in Hungary, to discuss the war.
