Trump will return to Washington, D.C. on Sunday evening after attending the Super Bowl and spending his weekend at Mar-a-Lago. The 47th President hinted that he could hold his first meeting with Zelenskyy since the inauguration on January 20 to discuss the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.
“(Zelenskyy) may meet next week. Yes. Whenever he wants. I'm here.” Trump told reporters on Friday while hosting Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.
Trump has met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose country is in a ceasefire agreement with Hamas after more than a year of war and vows to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Experts say
“You have 8 or 900,000 Russian soldiers killed and seriously injured. The same is true for Ukraine, which has about 700,000. Right. I want to see it on a human basis.
Trump confirmed to the New York Post on Friday that he had spoken with Vladimir Putin as the war continued, but did not reveal many details other than Putin. “Wish to see people stop die”.
Trump suggested earlier last week that Ukraine should reach a deal with the United States to provide key minerals such as titanium, lithium, graphite and uranium in exchange for military aid.
“We've invested hundreds of billions of dollars. They have huge rare earths. I want safety for rare earths, and they're willing (that).” Trump told reporters at the White House last Monday.
Zelenskyy told the media a day later that he was “investment” in helping us defend our land and push the enemy back to the enemy’s partners with weapons, presence and sanctions packages.
“It's absolutely fair,” he added.
