Trump meets Zelenskyy in Ukraine security discussions after Putin’s talks star-news.press/wp

President Donald Trump began meeting the week with Ukrainian President Voludmir Zelinski and other European leaders at the White House – a few days after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska – and said he had nearly two weeks to determine how the United States will continue in the ongoing negotiations.

The primary focus of meetings discussed various security measures to prevent Russian aggression against Ukraine again, after the Trump administration stated that Putin was on board while allowing the United States and its European allies to provide additional protection for Ukraine, similar to the protection included in Article 5 of the Model Defense in NATO.

“The Russians made concessions” almost immediately, “says Trump’s Summit of Putin.

However, Trump said on Tuesday that sending American forces to Ukraine to enhance security in the area was outside the table.

Meanwhile, Trump told correspondents on Friday that he would have a better feeling whether the deal that ends the conflict is possible and the type of measures that the United States must submit in negotiations in the coming weeks.

“We’ll see what is happening. I think over the next two weeks, we will discover how you will go,” Trump told reporters on Friday.

“It will be a very important decision,” Trump said. “And this is whether it is huge penalties or not or a huge tariff, or both. Or do we do nothing and say,” It is your battle? ”

Here’s what happened this week:

Trump also joined the law enforcement and the National Guard forces in Washington on Thursday evening, amid the seizure of his federal administration of the city and the efforts made to the crime.

“We have achieved some amazing results and the results came out, like a different place,” Trump told the police and the National Guard on Thursday. “It is like a different city.”

Vice President JD Vance visited the National Guard forces at the Washington Union Station on Wednesday.

“We are really seeing great traces because these men breach them,” Vans said on Wednesday.

“Here in Union Station, you have vagrants, you have drug addicts, you have chronic homeless people, you have a mental illness of harassment, who threatened violence, who attacked families.” “They have done it for a very long time. This should be a memorial to the American bone.”

Trump initially mobilized 800 National Guard forces in the capital as part of his efforts to reduce crime in Washington on August 11. Since then, the National Guard forces have been exploited from Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee to support the Trump administration’s efforts.

FIFA World Cup draw for Washington

Trump also revealed plans with FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the Oval Office on Friday to hold the World Cup for 2026 at the Kennedy Center on December 5. During this event, FIFA will work on all teams to 12 different groups.

“On December 5 of this year, the FIFA World Cup will be held for 2026 at the Kennedy Center. Some people refer to it as the Trump Kennedy center, but we are not ready to do this yet-perhaps within a week or so.”

“But here in Washington, DC, it is a tremendous honor to bring the global event and this wonderful group of people and those who do not believe – the best athletes in the world – to the cultural center of the capital of our nation,” Trump said.
