US President Donald Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Thursday for talks on the Ukraine war. Zelensky is expected to ask for long-range Tomahawk missiles to strike deep into Russian territory. Trump recently hinted he might consider the request but said after speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin, “We need them too.” The Kremlin has warned that supplying such weapons would be a major escalation. The two leaders shook hands outside the West Wing but did not respond to reporters’ questions before heading inside for their meeting.
