During Zelenskyy's visit to the United States, he engages in a meeting with Trump at Trump Tower.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky encountered ex-American President and Republican presidential contender Donald Trump during his Stateside visit. They convened at Trump's iconic New York skyscraper, Trump Tower, as per US media sources. "It's a privilege to have you here," Trump supposedly stated. "We're on the same page that the conflict in Ukraine needs to cease," Zelensky reportedly mentioned.
Trump had disclosed the meeting the previous day at a media briefing. Zelensky had been the one to request it, Trump declared. The duo's last encounter was roughly five years prior. Trump, aiming for a second term as the US President in November, has vocalized his criticism towards the substantial financial and military aid the US has provided to Ukraine. Should he be re-elected, he has repeatedly pledged to put an immediate end to the conflict - omitting specification on the strategies he'd implement.**
Presently in the US for the UN General Assembly, Zelensky also held discussions with present US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, to push for ongoing backing for Ukraine's defense against Russia.**
During their meeting at Trump Tower, Zelensky expressed his gratitude for Trump's disclosure of their encounter the previous day. Despite the five-year gap since their last encounter, Zelensky sought Trump's support in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, as he continued his US visit for the UN General Assembly.
