President of Ukraine planned to meet the Republican in early June during the G7 summit in Canada, but the American leader left before the Ukrainian arrival due to the Middle East crisis
The president of the United States, and your Ukraine homologist, they will meet on Wednesday (25) after the main meeting between NATO leaders in Hague, according to the Netherlands Prime Minister Dick Schoof today confirmed. Speaking to the press, Schoof answered a question about a bilateral meeting between the two leaders today in The Hague, and the Dutch assured that the two “will meet today and will have a meeting today,” presumably at the end of the two-and-a-half-hour scheduled meeting among OTan’s member-member-country heads.
Zelensky will have a less prominent role during the NATO summit in The Hague, compared to recent high -level counters with allied leaders, which is mainly due to their, sometimes difficult relationship, with Trump, especially after the public disagreement they had in the White House earlier this year. However, Trump and Zelensky have already met last night during a dinner offered at the Royal Palace of the Netherlands by King Willem-Alexander and the maximum queen, although it was not revealed if the two talked, as they were sitting at different tables.
If the meeting has taken place today, it will be the first time that the two leaders will meet bilaterally since Pope Francis’ funeral in Italy in late April, a meeting that, according to both parties, ran “well”, unlike Zelensky’s visit to Washington earlier this year. Zelensky intended to meet Trump at the G7 summit in Canada in mid -month, but the US president left before the Ukrainian leader’s arrival due to the Middle East crisis.
