Trump to meet Zelenskyy and al-Sharaa at NATO summit

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to hold meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Syrian President Ahmad alSharaa during the NATO summit in Turkey this week, according to the White House. The talks come as Ukraine continues to seek renewed U.S. attention on the war with Russia. Zelenskyy said he discussed the battlefield situation with Trump in a recent call and suggested there is still a path to ending the conflict. A senior U.S. official said Trump wants to discuss ways to help bring the war to a close and may speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin again after meeting Zelenskyy. Trump is also expected to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and hold a news conference before leaving for the United States. The White House has not provided details on the planned meeting with alSharaa, whose forces helped oust former Syrian President Bashar Assad. Trump has recently commented on Syria’s role in regional conflict, while alSharaa has pushed back on suggestions that Syria should fight Hezbollah.
