U.S. President Donald Trump is set to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for separate meetings in Washington on Tuesday, July 28. The White House confirmed the planned encounters, which coincide with both leaders' existing travel to the U.S. for the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham.
Zelenskyy recently indicated a positive dialogue with U.S. representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, describing the conversation as a step toward reviving diplomacy and advancing peace. This comes as the United States has previously played a significant role in mediating negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
However, the U.S. has recently directed its primary attention toward the Middle East, particularly due to its ongoing conflict with Iran. The scheduling of these meetings suggests a renewed effort to engage with key international figures amidst complex global challenges.
