Karoline Leavitt was grilled about Trump’s efforts to secure a deal to end the ongoing war in Ukraine during a tense press briefing on Tuesday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday.

Zelensky returns to the Oval Office for the first time since his blowup with Trump. This time he is bringing back up.

President Donald Trump ‘s face-to-face high-stakes summit with President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday could determine the fate of European security as well as the trajectory of the war in Ukraine. The exclusion of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy already deals a heavy blow to the West’s policy of “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.”

It was not initially clear if Putin would speak to the press with Trump after the meeting, but the White House has since confirmed that both leaders will participate in the briefing.
