โ Hereโs what youโll learn:
US President Donald Trump will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for talks at the White House on Friday, as the US leader signals he is not ready to agree to the sale of a long-range missile system to Kiev that the Ukrainians say they desperately need.
Zelensky is scheduled to speak to the media at 3:30 p.m. ET. Watch in the player above.
Zelensky gets a personal meeting with Trump a day after the US president and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a lengthy phone call to discuss the conflict.
In recent days, Trump has shown openness to selling long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, even as Putin warned that such a move would further strain US-Russian relations. But after Thursday’s call with Putin, Trump appeared to downplay the chances that Ukraine would obtain the missiles, which have a range of about 995 miles (1,600 kilometers).
