President Trump is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders on Monday following his controversial meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.
“I have already arrived in Washington, tomorrow I am meeting with President Trump. Tomorrow we are also speaking with European leaders. I am grateful to @POTUS for the invitation. We all share a strong desire to end this war quickly and reliably. And peace must be lasting,” Zelensky said in a post on the social platform X late Sunday night.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in an X post of her own Sunday that she would “join the meeting with President Trump and other European leaders in the White House tomorrow.”
The White House released a schedule that shows Trump, Zelensky and their teams will first hold a meeting, before a larger meeting is held that will also include European leaders.
Here’s a rundown.
12:00 p.m.
European leaders are expected to be at the White House by noon EDT at the South Portico, with television crew and photographers allowed to document the arrival.
1:00 p.m.-1:15 p.m.
Zelensky and Trump are set to greet each other an hour after the European leaders arrive, and will shortly after go into a meeting with each other in the Oval Office. Vice President Vance is also expected to attend this meeting.
The last time the three met in February, there were fireworks.
2:15 p.m.-2:30 p.m.
Trump will greet other European leaders in the State Dining Room an hour after he begins his Oval Office meeting with Zelensky. Fifteen minutes after the greetings, Trump and European leaders will take a family photo together in the Cross Hall.
3:00 p.m.
Trump and European leaders will then head into their own high-stakes meeting in the East Room of the White House. Zelensky will also be a part of this meeting.
